Yup, I migrated my forums to new servers (dual xeon to quad opterons) using completely new software - FreeBSD, Lighttpd instead of Apache. Lighttpd is really amazing, and I recommend that everyone switch from Apache to Lighttpd. APC works fine on the setup too. Just sharing.

Hopefully you mean GB rather than MB.

LOL!

Yeah, Gb. The last time I had 4 Mb RAM was on a 386... My 286 had 1 Mb RAM and my XT had 64kb.

The main webserver is the Quad Opteron with similar specs. We also have image server, irc, attachment, dns, and a slave search server.

We went with webnx in the end - best prices in town - look for Dan Paultz and tell him Erwin sent you - he'll look after you well.
Those cpu loads are very nice

I recommend giving Litespeed Webserver a try as well...I much prefer it over Lighttpd.

The standard version is free and has no limits as long as it keeps to one CPU (or a dual core) and 300 concurrent users. But the benchmarks speak for themselves when you're under high load.

I do love both however.

Lighttpd works very well if the config is tweaked. I'm using the Quake.net config example - works great.

Where would a person find this "Quake.net config" ?

Someone on vB.com posted a link to it in the large forums thread. Should still be there.

gotta back up Zachery here. Gentoo is plain awesome. upgrading just doesn't get easier than Gentoo has it - execute "emerge -u world" in screen and forget about it. it's very stable - I have a single-CPU Gentoo box that has 260 days uptime and handles ~15k uniques a day. and needless to say, Gentoo logo is the best. Pacman forever!
