Your statistics from dec 14 aren't all that usefull unfortunately ;^( We have slightly more users than you though only about 1000 are active users with about 700 logged in during the day (and night for that matter, many never log out). We have a U450 with 2 400MHz procesors and 2GB of memory and it sleeps most of the time. I would suggest an U220R/U60 or a U450 if you have one lying around, probably one processor will be enough but you need much more memory. You may be able to continue with your U5 if you increase your memory and improve your disk system e.g. with an SRC/P. The ide disks are a bit slow, particularly the older 4GB disks, replace them if you can and move swap to a fast disk. You can also improve performance by changing the nscd settings, they are probably TOO low, particularly the negative cache times. I would also suggest installing top so that you can see who is using that 70%. /Michael -- This space intentionally left non-blank.
