Hello,

I am helping a friend run a web hosting company, and we have just
ordered two new dedicated servers which are currently setup, but
software is not yet installed. I believe we are going to be using
FreeBSD, as the control panel software we are getting does not support
RedHat 8 and apparently the hardware has issues with RedHat 7.3.
Anyways, to get to the point...

Each one of these servers can be accessed by two different IPs that
are each on a different network. Each server only has one NIC. We are
trying to figure out the best way to setup the servers to best utilize
both networks and get the most efficient use of bandwidth and fastest
response times.

The data center where our servers will be located is in Chicago, and I
believe it will be using YIPES and Cogent networks.

Thanks!

IMHO, if you can't for some reason use Linux, you'll be a lot happier with
NetBSD than FreeBSD.

1. Partition Advice Request

Hello,

Linux newbie getting ready to partition hard drive would like some
advice...

1.7G drive with Win95 (FAT16) on it, 800 meg free.  I want to install
RedHat 5.2.  I've been reading this:
http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/LDP/gs/node4.html   Which is pretty good
but some things remain unclear.  Here's the plan to get me started
with Linux...

Partitions:
1148M   Win Boot
552M    LINUX

The Linux partition I want to divide into the following logical
partitions:
128M   Root  /
376M   ???????  /usr  /home  
48M    Swap

Questions:
I've read that the Linux partition must be well below cylinder 1024,
and some equate this with below 512M.  But my drive only has 847
cylinders, so does that mean I have no restrictions which apply?  One
text said 'cylinders' and the other said 'sectors', so I'm not sure
which applies?

If I have to have the Linux partition below 528M, will this work:
Partitions:
400M    Win Boot
552M    LINUX
748M    Win Data

Does the 1024 cylinder/sector limit apply to modern BIOS (Award 4.51PG
7/98)?

Should I split the 376M logical partition into more?   Do /usr and
/home need to be on separate logical partitions?  My system will have
only me using it.

Thanks for any advice here!
