No it isn't, it is ten years more modern, has twice the ram, 8 CPU cores instead of 2, and is able to deliver more than two tousand mail per minutes while the older linux system has never met a tenth of that speed. > - is this time you're reporting, while significant, the only issue you Yes. > have, or do you actually see something really show-stopping on that machine > (IOW, what problem are you trying to solve)?
