Large Novell installations?Large Novell installations?Posted Apr 16, 2003 17:03 UTC (Wed) by sphealey (guest, #1028)In reply to: Novell will make 'immature' Linux robust and reliable (ComputerWorld) by dlapine Parent article: Novell will make 'immature' Linux robust and reliable (ComputerWorld)
As for "robust, reliable and scalable", well, we're using Linux and not Novell on our supercomputing clusters., 2 of which are in the top 100 from the top500.org lists.As I indicated earlier, though, that tends to be a "two cultures" issues. People working with supercomputers aren't generally concerned with building 20,000 member, multi-time-zone, multi-language business directories. And people doing such business-oriented work usually don't see CPU utilization above 3%. So the two are often unaware of the others' concerns and challenges. sPh

Large Novell installations? Posted Apr 16, 2003 18:08 UTC (Wed) by dlapine (subscriber, #7358) [Link] I'd have to lump the kernel developers in with the supercomputer culture myself. 20K business directories don't seem to be a favorite project of the CS crowd :)
Large OpenLDAP installations? Posted Apr 18, 2003 7:04 UTC (Fri) by nicku (subscriber, #777) [Link] We use OpenLDAP with a few thousand accounts (posixAccount, sambaAccount), some tens of thousands of entries. And let me tell you, our load average sometimes goes way higher than I would wish. We currently run on a dual P-III. I would welcome a less CPU intensive directory solution (though I prefer free as in freedom software).
