| Hi,
we are planning to use Postgresql 8.0 on a SUN Fire v40z Server with 4
SingleCore Opterons. It will be later replaced by an DualCore
Opterons.
Would you prefer using Solaris or Linux?
Thanks in Advance,
Thomas

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere
" to majordomo@postgresql

| Both are good, I guess it depends what kind of expertise you have around
or are willing to pay for.
For me I would pick Linux because it is easier to install and maintain,
and there is much more articles etc on the web.
For a bullet proof Linux Install you could use CentOS which is a clone
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or for really good performance you could
also use Gentoo, I actually run all my PG servers on Gentoo and it is
great, very easy to update and maintain.
You could also use FreeBSD, but I am not sure how well it would work
with a 4 way system.

TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate
subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql
.org so that your
message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

I would use FreeBSD instead, im not sure if their SMP kernel supports 4
processors though.
May be a FreeBSD user could elaborate on this, what about 5.4?

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
