Re: What to buy

Hello Paula,

I would go for D-class, too, as you have the chance of doing all that funny testing by *unplugging* disks while running!
So you could test your root-disk-mirroring,
which I believe is pretty useful.
The second processor will not do you so much good for AFAIK you cannot disable it on D or K class boxes (no GSP) and its power is not needed for "playing".
More RAM is useful all the time, especially with HPUX11i, with Ignite/UX, you could even try the RAMdisk-driver :-)

Just my $0.001,
Wodisch

Re: What to buy

I agree Jonh. D`s are lighter than Ks, and to play .. :).

Jokes out. I guess you plan to buy a remarked box. If you must be able to run 10.20, then D. But if you dont need 10.20 check the posibility of A class from remarketing.

Like a L but smallest.
