I can't remember the exact volume of the site, I want to say they were getting at least a million page views a day. Edge Server was deployed in a pretty straightforward HA configuration. There weren't any issues with performance that were related to the OS. The current version of Edge Server (or WebSphere Edge Components, as it's now called) is only supported on RedHat Advanced Server and SuSE (2.1 and 7.3, if memory serves). The installation may complete on other distros, but you'll need to use the kernel from either RedHat AS2.1 or SuSE 7.3 in order for the product to actually run properly. Plus you'll probably get a hard time if you ever need support if you aren't running on a supported OS version. Previous versions of Edge (v2.0.3) had support for RedHat 7.3, but only if you apply the latest PTF. Sorry for the late reply. Let me know if you have any more questions. --Chad _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
