Hi,<br>
I would install biolinux on a recently acquired DELL server with 64Gb RAM<br>
and 16 cores. I would have some suggestions from users that are using bio<br>
linux on servers with similar characteristics.<br>
Thank you<br>
Sincerely<br>

Hi, Stefano.<br>
<br>
I'm running Bio-Linux 8 on three Tyan S8230-based servers with dual<br>
8-core Opteron 6128 CPU's and 128GiB RAM in each at the University of<br>
Aberdeen. I installed Bio-Linux onto a partitionable RAID6, but boot<br>
from a RAID1 because GRUB can't boot from a degraded RAID6 - OK to boot<br>
from RAID6 if it's not degraded.<br>
<br>
I've also set up Bio-Linux terminal servers many times in the past, for<br>
example at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology in Edinburgh, and<br>
I helped my friends at Assam Agricultural University set up Bio-Linux 8<br>
servers there for a training course we held recently.<br>
<br>
Bio-Linux 8 works very well as an "x2go" or SSH terminal server, thanks<br>
to the efforts that Tim and his team at EOS have put into Bio-Linux 8.<br>
<br>
I've got 10@SATA2 drives in each of our three Bio-Linux servers here:<br>
<br>
6@2TB:<br>
RAID1 /boot<br>
RAID6 /, swap, /usr/local, /home, work<br>
<br>
2@4TB:<br>
JBOD /backup1<br>
JBOD /backup2<br>
<br>
2@4TB:<br>
JBOD /archive<br>
JBOD /scratch<br>
<br>
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help?<br>
<br>
If you boot your server from a Bio-Linux USB-stick and let me in through<br>
your firewall I can install it for you remotely. I've done this several<br>
times already for disaster recovery on an EU FP-6 project.<br>
<br>
