I'd like to go ahead and put a plug in for FreeBSD. I've used it in the past with quite a bit of success and can attest that Perforce runs very well on it. As for keeping up to date, you can track a release so you know that the only updates you will be getting are for security purposes.

My company is planning to migrate the Perforce server from Sun/Solaris hardware to Intel/Linux.

Any particular recommendations on version of Linux to use?

Some people at work including myself have been playing with RedHat Fedora and find it quite stable but RedHat particularly doesn't position Fedora as something one might want to use for production server (besides the fact that they don't make any money that way). Any thoughts?

Also, any idea if Linux has the same performance problems with regard to locking as Solaris over NFS when db.* files are on a NetApp?

Thanks,

Rajul
