Hi Larry,

Ok..

Software specs:

If Linux is desirable we suggest:

RH Enterprise (if support is desired) UPC has not tested this, but Pete
Pokrandt at UW has had success.

Fedora Core 1 (used by UPC)

---known issues: (client NFS mount ) (security)

We have tested and found successful kernel:

2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp

We are also running versions of RH 7*, 8*, and 9* successfully.


RAP has been using Debian..just an aside.

Please make sure ALL security patches are in place prior to placing on the
network...the trials and tribulations of freeware :)


Hardware specs:

2-3 Gb of RAM
Dual 2.8 GHz processors
100 Gb System disk
500 Gb RAID
128 Mb Video card

A machine of this quality can be built for around 2k, or you can buy off
the shelf for around 4k.

We enjoy the site www.tigerdirect.com for hardware purchases.

Let me know if we can help further.

Cheers,

and adios DEC alpha ;)


Jeff
