Hello there, I am a new member to the mailing list. My name is Roy and I'm a fanatic linux user. I have some questions about performance and tuning when it comes to a great number of connections. Does anyone have experience with these things. There are 2 situations: 1. Offering 200 shares on 1 machine (intel-based). Each share has an average of 4 users. Use off approximately a few MB per hour. 2. Offering 1 share on the same machine. This share has an average of 800 users. High frequency use, but the files aren't larger than 2 or 3K. Does anybody have experience with the sizing of the machine. It is going to be a Compaq Prolliant. But how many memory do I have to buy. How many Mhz must the CPU be? Thanx. Regards, Roy. -- _____________________________________________________________________ 2x sneller ADSL met Zon Breedband Family. In combinatie met ZonTel nu voor maar 29 euro per maand.
