RE: Re: Red Hat to support PostgreSQL

As long as it's a robust, managable, and open arhcitecture, I'm generally
agnostic as to technoliogies.  That said, my red hat experience:

ran multiple java application servers and multiple oracle 8i db instances on
red hat 6.n (medium size 100-200 tables) with a moderately high
computationally and datbase intensive application.  consistently ran 6 9's
uptime (what little downtime there was generally due to pilot error or buggy
code)  these servers served from 10-to-25 thousand users daily.  we ran many
months 100% uptime.

Even though it may appear that your server is doing a lot, it's not facing
the load of a highly scaled enterprise level e-commerce site, where RedHat
just doesn't cut it.

I have a T1 to my house, and I saturate it all the time... without load :)
