They totally reinvented the way the server gets rid of stale files (expires), and the server can be configured to spawn child processes. (If one news server isn't enough, run 2, or 3 or ..). We have 2 full IHAVE feeds inbound (UUNET and C&W), we feed two corporate downline servers (one suck feed, one IHAVE) and usually have around 900 users online. All of this on a P200pro, 96mb RAM, and 50gb of ide disk. And we have server to spare. We run our tucows mirror on the same box. (Of course, I firmly beleive that 3x-stable is making all of this possible ;) -- Bob Martin, bob@buckhorn.net http://www.buckhorn.net "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
