I'm going to set up an SQL on a server box I'm building to host a database that will hold a few tables. The database will probably contain 3 (possibly
4) tables, the largest of which having 9 fields and about 50 records.

The main thing I'm interested in is minimal use of system resources, the database will not be accessed frequently (possibly once every few minutes - if that).

Which of those two (or a third, if you can point me towards it) would be able to handle this task using minimal resources on the server (leaving resources available for other programs)?

FTP Speed disparity

I have a box that dual boots linux (RH7.3) and Win98. For linux I'm using IPTables (set up for me by one of my
coworkers who is a sysadmin) firewall and for Win98 I'm
using Sygate's firewall. On linux, I use the PureFTP server and on Win98 I use Cerebrus FTP server. I'm connected to the 'net via Cable.
Now, whenever I'm booted to Win98 and I transfer files to that box via FTP, I get speeds of anywhere between 90 to 120 kbps. However, whenever I'm booted to linux and transfer files to the box, I get speeds of anywhere between 20 to 60 kbps. What might be causing that disparity? What might I be able to do, where might I check to try to bring the speed up while in linux?

thnx,
Chris
