During the first year, it'll have to support some 100000 users. Of course, we've already chosen FreeBSD as the core OS for this after looking to Digital Unix, Solaris and Windows NT. Is any of you out there operating or designing something like this? I would love to share toughts/experiences about this. I will gladly summarize the result to the list if there's enough interest. Best regards. -lem
