KOYLE) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: News Server Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 01:14:58 GMT Organization: CSIS Dept., Utah Valley State College Lines: 9 Message-ID: <1koylejo.2.31574512@uvsc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pc59.cs1.uvsc.edu X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev A] 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.
