INN with UUCP has worked just fine for me for months. True, INN is a swap hog and C News would be lighter, but, like many, I find INN much easier to administer. I originally picked it because I had been running it for a former employer, was familiar with it, and saw no particular reason to go back to C News (which I've also run, though not for a while). I honestly don't see much to choose between them, unless one is running in a swap-poor environment (in which case C News is really the only alternative). Swap is cheap, though, like the man said. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com
