mailserver machine
hi, i'd like to install postfix on a brand new linux box. what kind of machine do you recommend? in average 300MB mails/day is our usage. is Celeron400 with 128MB RAM enough? thanks P. --- The NEPTUN has you. 1999(c) 2000
Re: mailserver machine
is Celeron400 with 128MB RAM enough? More than enough. 300MB/day is not much. General rule: email is I/O bound is I/O bound is I/O bound :-] so, do you recommend SCSI devices? P. --- The NEPTUN has you. 1999(c) 2000
Re: Ethernet card recommendations?
10/100, Full-duplex, PCI prefered (what else would you use in a serious server?). maybe some kind of SUNs or DECs 100 NICs :) but they are very expensive. i'm using SMC1211TX, it's based on RTL8139 chipset and working fine in my 100mbit Cisco network but when the default ethernet driver (by Donald Becker) is loaded then both the 10mbit and 100mbit LED is turned permanently on, but communicating at 100mbit fullduplex. so, SMC1211TX is a good choice for you!

Re: Making Debian Recognize 256 Meg of Ram
Would somebody be kind enough to tell me how to make my machine recognize 256Meg of RAM. When I added the ram and did top and did see only 64Meg. very common, but well documented poblem. most of the motherboards are not capable to tell the linux how many ram is installed and the Linux sees 64MB only due some old DOS-style codes. mostly this problem is based on a false BIOS software. put the following line into lilo.conf to the proper label-section and rerun lilo. append=mem=256M bye NADASI Peter --- The NEPTUN has you. 1999(c) 2000
