Dear world,
I am setting up a PC to run Unix in a production environment just
to process EMAIL only. I'll install pine server, and have everyone
use PINE off-line via TCP/IP network.
The hardware I have is:
486-66DX2, 16MB RAM (Can add more)
1G IDE + SVGA card & 3COM EThernet
I have ruled out Linux & the likes because I can't justify the
whole company email operation be base on non-brane name :-(
(I have Linux at home) :-))
I have narrowed down to:
SCO Unix
Sun Solaris
IBM AIX
Novell Unixware
Those 4 are our main choices. Since this is my play machine/project,
I can't get $ for a real Sparc/PowerPC :-))
I am looking for recommendation for your input on which machine
can serve my need to support about 1000 user id in a production
environment (meaning support, and good future)..
Everyone will be telnet in, or link through a client for email only. :-)
I love the dynamic partition space of AIX.
The support of Sun, and the linkability of Novell, and the
low cost of SCO :-)
:_)
Thanks
Please email me :-)
