Hi! > Does FreeBSD make a good News server? I am running several inhouse, serving thousands of clients every day. They are in my experience better than all the expensive systems, and more stable that the other free systems like the l-word. > What hardware is recommended? For a full feed I would suggest 2*4*4 SCSI drives spread over two fast controllers. That should be running on a P128 with 198MB of RAM, and linked to the net with a minimum of T1. I suggest starting with something a lot less, and only taking in some groups :) > Required reading? http://www.isc.org/isc/inn.html > Required software? ftp://ftp.vix.com/pub/inn A bit terse, but you wanted to learn for yourself :) PS: Ill be glad to give you some tips if you get stuck!
