Le 2000-05-30, Joe Nguyen ?crivait :
I am evaluating Perforce. I would like to know your opinion about
running Perforce servers under Linux PC boxes. Thanks in advance.
We have been using Perforce for several small projects here with a
Debian GNU/Linux as server. I do not think there are specific caveats
for using Perforce on Linux; I can provide startup (init) and
backup scripts for this configuration.
On the other hand, if your choice of an operating platform is not
definitive yet, I would suggest that you also consider FreeBSD
in your evaluation. See http://www.freebsd.org/ for more information;
FreeBSD boxen make very nice Perforce servers; with softupdates,
disk i/o is much faster than with Linux on the same hardware.
Thomas.
NB: This is not meant to start a FreeBSD vs. Linux flamewar.
I am a satisfied user of both systems, and won't give up either
for the other. :)
