I am going to be setting up a news server, and would like some input on the 
hardware that I should use.  I am planning on using INN 1.4, and want to be 
able to provide service to 25-60 simultaneous users.  I am currently looking 
at a 4 gig wide scsi drive and ctrl on a p120 with 32 or 64 meg of ram.  Are 
these specs sufficient?  What are some experiences that others have had, and 
what brands, adaptec, seagate, etc, should I consider.  The os will be FreeBSD 
2.1.0.  I am willing to buy the hardware to work with this OS.

NE help would be greatly appreciated.
