I'm pushing about 30gig a month out of a Pentium Pro 200 dual processor. It runs at a load average of 0 most of the time (not counting the two SETI processes :-)). It also handles mail for half a dozen heavy mail-users, runs two moderately active mailing lists, and once a month mails out a 15kb newsletter to about 60,000 recipients. Your system should be more powerful than mine (and a single processor is more flexible than multiple), so you should be able to easily do everything I do. Which sounds like a LOT more than you plan to do, at least at first. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
