Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
We'll I'm finally taking the plunge and building a high performance |
| 4 |
64 bit AMD system. Oh, but the company paying for it insist upon |
| 5 |
windozXP 64bit, just in case Gentoo does not work. I'm really surprise |
| 6 |
some vendor is not listed on gentoo.org, as it'd make this purchase |
| 7 |
more straightforward, and It'd be a great opportunity to support Gentoo. |
| 8 |
Any 'off the shelf' system recommendations, or should I just purchase |
| 9 |
pieces? (Reasonable vendors that build systems and perform Gentoo |
| 10 |
installation here in the US?) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
What's the best 64 bit processor choice for performance for Gentoo? |
| 13 |
Dual-core? |
| 14 |
Complimentary ram specs? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Mobo recommendations (lm_sensors and acpi support) in a 19 inch rack? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
N+1 redundant power supply recommendations? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
10/100/1000 Ethernet support? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
What's the friendliest high end video card for displaying video |
| 23 |
(fast motion) that has open source drivers? Multiple displays? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Which Sata-2 drives give good performance and size (400 G or more)? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What's the best Raid level to run for storing, searching and manipulating |
| 28 |
tons of video, and should I get a Gentoo friendly controller or use |
| 29 |
software raid? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Finally which file system would one recommed for this video server |
| 32 |
with the best, stable performance. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
ideas? |
