Hello,

First, let me say I am not saying this to start any flame war, I am
simply hoping to get some feedback.  I have two largist servers (500G
each) that will be server Tomcat apps (not using Apache, just
Tomcat/java by itself). It will be accessing a PostgreSQL database.  My
question is simple -- I have one running SuSE 8.0 and the other running
RH 7.3.  Both running same versions of software and patched kernels to
support HighPoint Asic raid controllers.

The question is simple -- is there any advantages to SuSE over the other
one?  Can I find a way to benchmark it?  Are the SuSE libraries
configured differently in some way to allow Java/Tomcat to run better?

The reason I went with both is that they are a disaster recovery
config.  I wanted to cover all bases -- from hardware failure to
software failure, so I decided to have one system on SuSE and one on RH.

Comments are welcome -- this is an honest question, so I hope it does
not spark some sort of flame war against the other guys (PS -- I
PURCHASED my versions of SuSE since 6.something....*smile*)

regards
Kat
