Hello We've been given the green light to explore a replacement to our current architecture. One of the ideas kicked around was a quad or dual processor Linux system. I know nothing about Linux systems with more than one processor. Anybody on this list with a happy story? A happy motherboard/CPU?
Happy story: Tyan s2885 w/dual Opteron 246. Fast & reliable. Suse 9.2, of course.
I've happily used linux on a range of dual processor boxes for the last 6-7 years IIRC. All the way from dual PIII (400MHz) to dual Opteron 240s. Most of these have been server boards like the Tyan S2882 which has been going OK with SuSE 9.2 Matthew -- Matthew Wild Tel.: +44 (0)1235 445173 M.Wild@rl.ac.uk URL http://www.wdc.rl.ac.uk/ World Data Centre - Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Chilton Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 0QX
