[opencms-dev] System Recomendations

[Nathan Sweaney]

Hi All, I'm a relatively inexperienced web manager at a private
university who has been given the responsibility of developing a new
campus-wide site using OpenCMS.  I've read most all of the documentation
and have a temp system setup to get the feel of it, but I'd like some
real-user feedback.  

Primarily, I was hoping for some advice on server setup.  Currently
we're looking at 3 HP-UX servers, one being a db/file server and the
other two being web servers with a load-balancer in front.  Does anyone
have any suggestions for or against this type of setup?  Anyone ever
used OpenCMS on an HP-UX box?  We're open to just about anything if
necessary, but would prefer to stay with HP-UX if possible for
consistency matters.  

Also, what dbms is most recommended?  Are we better off with the
default MySQL or does it really matter?   Any we should stay away from?


Thanks
