Hey, it's MJ, one of our original potential CreationWare customers! :-)

The beefier the better. The real bottleneck for Bricolage tends to be
memory, but processor speed is a close second. Disk speed is also fairly
important for fast database accesses. You'll need to tune PostgreSQL for
your server specs to get it optimal. Mark Jaroski has mentioned to me that
he might write up a HOWTO on doing this.

So that's the bland, generic answer. The short answer is something I'll just
make up: As fast a processor as you can (1GHz is good -- two of them is
better), 1GB of memory, 78,000 RPM disks, and RAID 0 (or whatever the
PostgreSQL folks recommend -- see http://techdocs.postgresql.org/, and
especially these two links:

http://www.argudo.org/postgresql/soft-tuning.html
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/momjian/hw_performance/

HTH,

David

Sweet! Where do I get disks that fast? Better hope that never fly apart
though...
Sorry, I just couldn't let that one pass David. :-)

Oh, it's 7800, isn't it. What the hell do I know, I'm a software guy!

Hi Robert,

Im running Bricolage on a local machine which is
running RH Linux 7.3, 400mhz, 192 ram, I dont know
what the disk speed is, and the performance on that
machine is pretty darn good.

What cms system your using now at your magazine?

SR

Hi all,
Thanks for the hardware info, this was eactly what I was looking for.

Sandy, to answer your question, we are currently cmsless. Right now
we create and edit our webpages with a text editor. (We start from
some templates our designer has produced and then manually fill in
the relevant portions of each article...)

And David, yep, I remember our field trip out of the office to listen
to the pitch for Creation Engines. It's funny how so much else has
changed, but the code still looks like the best CMS around.

Thanks again,
Robert Wise

Heh, thanks. Kinda sad, but then I know the internals and am biased.
I'm looking forward to the major cleanup we have planned for this year
making it even better.

Regards,

David
