Best OS for proliant 5000
My thinking is that the Advanced Server is too new of an OS for such an old machine and NT4 or even 2000 Pro would speed up the processing a bit. (Does this make sense?)
As for the demo I would have to start over again anyways.
There is also the option of a multiple OS install and see which one works the best.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks, Chuck

For basic file serving - gotta be linux running Samba every time! Free up your Windoze licece for something more worthy.
Give it a try - you might even like it.
Fedora will work a treat on that machine.

Re: Best OS for proliant 5000
If you just want to take a look at linux to see what it can do you can't beat knoppix IMHO.
It boots from the cd so you don't even need to install it and it picks up all the hardware perfectly on my HP nx9010 laptop. It uses DHCP to pickup my network settings & if there's anything I want to save I use my USB pen which it automounts. Also very useful as a recovery CD for Proliants as it has the cciss driver which you can use to get at disks under a smart controller.
Slightly off topic but hope it helps

Re: Best OS for proliant 5000
It's a linux distro (RedHat/Fedora based) that gives you a nice server/router without the need to dive direct into linux.
For others, that need some commersial support or such, peek at http://www.clarkconnect.com/
