hey jason!! what's up.... i'm playing with something in the back of my mind... basically, i'm considering what might be used as a dual server, where i can have two motherboards running in the same box. kindof a cheap two blade system, with each blade/board with it's own cpu/mem/hard-drive... i'm considering a usage where i'd be bale to have one board doing apps/functions.. with the other board doing apps/functions that are being remotely tasked via the ethernet/internet... the whole thing would have to run a modified linux, as i'd want to strip out a bunch of things.... but i'm curious as to if there are any manufacturers that anybody has dealt with who already make this kind of box... i would imagine with tech/costs being where it is now.. this should be doable... for a reasonable cost ~600-800/box... thanks.... bruce -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jason Staudenmayer Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 11:20 AM To: 'bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'; 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: RE: question.. not sure where to post..!! The only thing close to that would be virtual servers or vmware. Multi-processor systems don't work that way the OS can use the processors to spread the work load not run two separate systems in one box.
