mod_perl, and bea weblogic. I was wondering what if any are the "must
have" kernel settings for this type of server. I have the following,
basically culled from this server's predecessor which is an ultra 80 with
1/2 as much ram (2gb as opposed to 4gb) that isn't running weblogic or
ssl.
Can you let me know if I should modify or add anything? This is an e420, 4
450 mhz processors, 4 gb ram
