I sincerely hope the bug in the Adaptec driver has been fixed in the 2.2.2 release :) I got one question: My new server setup is a digital prioris pentium 90mhz, with 3 x 4 giga scisi disk for the news spool, 1 giga for the os and 80mb RAM. At present I got about 4-5 concurrent news clients, but I expect to get about 10 times that sometime near future. Whatkinda setup is needed for that? How much RAM should I calculate for each news client, the server itself etc? I would be happy if some can give me a brief outline of system requirements, since I am pretty new to running a news server.
