dislike 32bit / M$ operatingsystems

need to sync every day about 1 million files from disk to network share. so far no problem, but the sync application eats up massive amounts of ram – in this case a problem because the ibm x3250 w2k3 32bit machine only got 4gb of ram.  32bit – disused. maybe a solution would be to use an os wich isn`t such a colossal turd…

new virtualization project

i`m planning a new virtualization structure for a customer. this time based on three ibm x3650 m3 machines; one machine as iSCSI target, the other two machines with vmware ESXi 4.1, for sure it will be real fun to configure one x3650 m3 as a iSCSI target – hoping debian stable will install clean without patching the kernel for raid modules or something ….  🙂
