I am building travel agency site and I need to import "xml export data" including images from remote server into my drupal site (custom node type with cck and image_field).
Sun Microsystems is today announcing SSD drives as options for many of its servers. We tested Drupal 6 performance on these drives, compared against traditional HDDs, and also tested a ZFS-based 'Hybrid Storage Pool', which uses SSDs as a front-end I/O cache.
If interested, the report is posted in Sun's "Using Drupal on Sun" Wiki.
What do you think is the best way to handle non-drupal-standard information (e.g. favorite colour, pet's name)? the drupalfun way (a seperate profile page) or the drupalSN way (using views and CCK).
I am trying to set up user profiles that are easily searchable (by specific fields) and that can be designed and placed wherever i want (using panels)
