swehA quick install of CentOS 4.4 later (wow, a base server install off CD is bloody quick!) and it detected the dual cores off the bat.
Because this isn't a cutting edge system it looks like the kernel has detected just about everything; ethernet, SATA, audio. Haven't tried X yet.
Now I need to decide what sort of virtualisation to run on this thing; vserver or VMware or Solaris 10 zones or Xen or something else. Part of what this machine is going to do is have a couple of "bastion" instances which have incoming internet access (one for web and ssh, one for mail). So far I'm thinking vmware is a bit heavy weight for just a few processes but then it gives the most flexibility. I'm currently using vserver on an old FC1 box, but this won't necessarily patch onto a RHEL4.4 kernel because of all the changes RedHat made. Or do I wait for RHEL5 (and thus CentOS 5) with Xen built in?
