Well, about the week-end, you're welcome for another one (...) About the install, I do almost the same. the second part is the optimization. Using an optimized distrib on an SR2200 (dual PIII 1.4GHz Tualatin-S), SCSI U160, I have better results on Mysql nemchmarks than with a non-optimized SR2300-SKU0 dual xeon 3.0 1MB L3 cache and SCSI U320!!
