Looking at upgrading things for our Squid servers. What's the groups
opinion on the DELL PE 1550 2U server? I'm looking at 1GB RAM, dual 15k RPM
18.2GB drives with hdw RAID-0 via the PERC3 controller with 128MB cache, and
dual 1Ghz PIII's. I'm currently running Linux 2.2.19 but considering
putting BSD on the new servers, I'm not happy with the memory mgmt of the
Linux and our BSD boxes run much cleaner.

We'll be buying two units to support about 2000 users. I'd appreciate any
opinons/info.
