As I am going to be installing a unix-based server for an ISP, I have the following questions: 1. The server(s) will be the main machines for the ISP; providing the basic internet access, pop, ftp, services. Is BSD up to this? 2. What type of configuration (hardware/software) would you reccomend for about 15000 users? The 1st 6 months will have about 3500 users simultaneously. 3. Is there anything else I should bear in mind while seting up the system?
