Hi,
I am about to order a new server for my Postgres cluster. I will
probably get a Dual Xeon Quad Core instead of my current Dual Xeon.
Which OS would you recommend to optimize Postgres behaviour (i/o
access, multithreading, etc) ?
I am hesitating between Fedora Core 6, CentOS and Debian. Can anyone
help with this ?
Use the one you're most comfortable with.
I don't think you'll notice *that* much difference between linux systems for
performance - but whether you're comfortable using any of them will make a
difference in managing it in general.
the tuneing that you do (both of the OS and of postgres) will make more
of a difference then anything else.
