Evaluating Energy Efficient Server Processors

I’ve been looking over the offerings from AMD and Intel for energy efficient server processors. Specifically I want the latest generation of Quad-core processors suited for a dual-processor system. AMD offers the Opteron 2346 HE and the 2347 HE. Intel offers the Xeon L5410 and L5420. I decided to compare the offerings on clock speed and pricing.

Still searching for the best LAMP control panel

As I noted, when searching for a Postfix control panel I considered using a web hosting control panel that supported Postfix. Ultimately I decided against that route but I am still searching for a great control panel that could be used for LAMP servers, either ones I administer or packaged with a virtual server. I’ve been using DTC and SysCP but I cannot say I have been totally satisfied with either. I’ve found I keep returning to the same list of options, and today I am thinking that ISPConfig might be my next try.

Web Control Panel for Postfix

I will be setting up a virtual email server for a client tomorrow and spent an hour or so looking through web control panels for Postfix. I think I’ve settled on Postfix Admin which seems to have the features I need, loose requirements (MySQL or PostgreSQL, PHP4 or PHP5), and is actively developed having released version 2.2.0 in April 2008.
