The box does over 7Million hits a month on the web archives and with pipermail you cannot seperate the list server from the archives. It push over 16gb of data a month via web. It processes 25,000 pieces of mail a day. A 486 would not be able to handle this. Remember if you want tclug-list, tclug-announce, tclug-jobs, tclug-devel, you get linux-kernel for free(!). -- Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities MN | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org Minnesota Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
