I have a box running NetBSD xen i386, with RAID-1 (raidframe) dual SATA disks, 4G ram, and a wm(4). I am running apache/svn/mod_wsgi/trac/postresql. This works fine, but trac is too slow. I am thinking about buying more hardware to speed this up. Cost is not that important, but lack of grief is very important. I would run NetBSD 5, and probably not run xen, but it might be easier to migrate the old domU with xen. I am looking at Dell PowerEdge 2900 III 2 x quadcore xeon 8GB ram PERC 6/i controller 4 20G SATA dual BCM 5708 which will be about $2500. Will this work out of the box with NetBSD/amd64 5.0 release mfi(4) bge(4) and I will have no trouble? (I am not going to run X11 and don't care about that.) If that hardware is trouble, alternate suggestions are most welcome. Thanks, Greg
