[Opensim-users] What is the best host OS for OpenSim

[Snoopy Pfeffer]

I could run opensim (SVN #7894) quite stable during the last week. 4 regions did run for 3 days without any restart required. 4 regions needed a daily restart and 1 region about every two days.

I run my region servers on two Intel quadcore servers with 4 GB memory under Mono 2.3. One server uses Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit (4 regions), the other server Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit (5 regions).

Usually there are only problems with regions that have much traffic and/or with much building activity. Usually that increases memory consumption over time, until the region server crashes finally. I use a tool called "monit" that restarts the region processes automatically before that happens.

Regards,

  Snoopy

I'm no expert - and for the record, I prefer Linux on all things
server side - but I heard that on the same hardware, OpenSim will
perform far better on Windows 2003 Server or XP than on Linux with
Mono, with a far lower crash rate. Has this changed recently? Either
way, I'd love to hear from people on how to properly tune Linux and
Mono in any way to achieve better performance benchmarks.
