I am trying to pick a hardware config for a server which must hosts dozens of web server. It is going to be a commercial hosting and i picked FreeBSD as OS because of many personal reasons:) Now i must pick some x86 compat platform hardware. What I am thinking about right now is : Asus P2B-LS motherboard, Pentium III above 500, 512MB ram, 1 SCSI 10GB, 1 SCSI 30GB, 1 UDMA IDE AS BIG AS IT CAN BE for backup. The main problem is the motherboard. I just don't see any alternative and that;s bad. I'd like to have a choice. It seems like the newer i820 bases motherboards from Asus have SCSI contrller Ultra160 which is not supported by 3.4 ( i'd rather no go with 4.0). But on the other hand BX is kind old now. If you have some experience with hosting a lot of web servers, please, share the hardware config with me.
