I don't know where you heard that, because Debian's main archive server is an UltraSPARC 60 with 2 450Mhz CPU's and 1.5gigs of RAM. It handles several hundred megs of new packages a day, including maintaining the postgresql database of the archive layout and pushing the archive out to several mirrors (again, on a daily basis). I'd say that's a notch or two better than a classic. -- .----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=-----. / Ben Collins -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
