A WebMaster’s view of Eclipse.org

Rants, praise and observations related to the technical and psychological challenges of running servers for a pretty busy site.

EclipseCon mirror server, powered by AMD

If you’re at EclipseCon and you download Eclipse files, go ahead and choose the internal mirror server Karl and I just finished setting up. Our friends at AMD brought three amazing Spider desktops, each with a quad-core Phenom processor and 4GB of RAM. One of those is serving downloads for us here at the conference.

Come check out the AMD hardware lounge (and the mirror server) in the registration area. These machines are so fast, I’m willing to bet Eclipse starts faster* on them than the Windows Notepad on your laptop.

* There’s a disclaimer here, but I’m not sure yet what it is.
