Re: Need help configuring Piranha. Have only a few days left to get this done.

I note that you say you can use RH8.0 in your doc. I was misinformed in
that I was under the impression this was only available under Advanced
Server. So we are running ASDEV 2.1 which has the 2.4.9-e.5enterprise #1
SMP kernel. We are running Compaq servers with quad Xeons, and Raid
drives. We are expecting a lot of throughput especially from the
database servers. What make AS better than 8.0? What have they added to
AS that makes it worth 1400-2300 over RH 8/9 at 149? I want to do this
job for the least amount of money but not affect throughput. What are
your thoughts on this? Do I need the AS for the quad server and
gigabytes of memory? Is it tweaked to handle that even though it is a
lower kernel version? 
Just want to do this right.
