[Adium-devl] Hardware plans

[Zachary West]

ARD might be fine locally, but going over a regular internet...
I think multiple minis is unnecessary and overly complex for what we're
setting out to do. My Mac Pro compiles trunk in what, a minute? Fully
cleaned. And the XServe is gonna have a 15k RPM Disk (assuming we upgrade
from the 7200), versus the 5400 RPM that a Mini has...

A single XServe + a 10.4 buildbot setup on a Mini would probably be the most
efficient setup for what we're aiming to do, and I'm sure we're
gonna under-utilize an XServe anyway (at least until we figure out exactly
what we want to do).

Even if the processor power is theoretically better, having a single Xserve
to admin would be a much easier task (especially since this isn't our data
center to control, diagnose or fix problems and none of us can physically
walk over to do things faster).


Don't get me wrong, having an army of Minis sounds awesome, but I don't
think it's much of an added bonus.
