I'm running a large FreeBSD based server. It's not heavily loaded yet (two full streaming feeds in and maybe 100 readers at peak times). Load rarely climbs about 0.3. Setup: PPro 200, 256MB RAM, 8*4GB Quantum Atlas II Ultra Wide, 3940UW, SMC EtherPower 10/100. Software: FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE (cvsuped kernel on 2.2.1 system), INN-1.5.1, nntplink, newsxd. All works fine, as far as I can see, but the load is not that high yet. We are taking a full feed (around 300K articles/day) without problems, and the disks are ticking over nicely. One warning though. If you are using Adaptec disk controllers, make sure to get the very latest kernel. Both 2.2.1-RELEASE and 2.1.7.1-RELEASE have Adaptec problems under load and we had some hangs and crashes before upgrading. -- Alan Judge Phone: +353-1-6046901 Indigo Internet Services Fax: +353-1-6046948
