Centos 6.X and on just work :) We have optimized the nics a bit per this https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2009/ols2009-pages-169-184.pdf The mobo is like $550 to $600 with built in nics :0) - the nics alone run $450 For high end applications we use SolarFlare SFN7122 but those are still around $900 each for 2 port. -Joe -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Nux!
