I'll stop banging that drum now. :-) > http://funroll-loops.org :-) Seriously though, we now have 5 entirely dedicated servers, 4 of which have ran gentoo for over a year and we have had no problems. Originally we ran interchange over NFS and it seemed ok for a while, however if your NFS server died you ended up in a pit of woe, and interchange did crash occasionally when all of the page servers had problems creating new sessions on the NFS mount (or so I could fathom). So I chucked everything into a subversion repository and the servers update their working copies from that. The database server is now the weakest link!
