Hi, I'm experimenting the following problem: one Debian machine with 1 10/100 Ethernet NIC where its upstream speed is reasonable (2 or 3 Mbytes per second) but its downstream speed is awful (35 kbytes per second ). All experiments are made in a LAN, so I cannot explain the 35 kbytes/s extrem

Hi all, As part of a project I'm involved in, we need to deploy a new server (ia32, FWIW: running Debian "sarge") to run a MySQL database (SME-sized, moderate complexity but not particularly large) + Java Application. I figure that upgradability probably isn't a big issue here, as the obvious pat
