You'll probally see a performance boost on lower end hardware. (ATA-100 and older scsi) When your start getting into RAID and fiber channel things may be different. One thing not to do is creat a swap space on a RAM disk. Creating a RAM disk is fairly easy, as metnioned before the default size is 4mb. You'll probally want to read up on the docuemntation (Try /usr/src/linux/Documentation or I think there's a RAM disk howto out there) Geez, you get me all excited about "moving to a linux based enviorment" but you're still using windows on your clients. Shame on you. :P Oh well, I can dream... -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
