Hi

As i have mentioned before on the list, i'm planning to move our club bbs
to linux/fbb. However there seems to be some problems in convincing the
other sysops in the club, that we have to use linux. Mostly it's stability
questions that they asks. They don't wan't to run to the bbs site every day
to reset the system..
I'm planing to use Redhat 4.2 and kernel 2.0.30 patched with
ax-modules-2.14 and axutils.2.1.42 (i think), and of course xfbb as a
daemon. I also want to start the following services : Samba, WWW (Appache),
SMTP, and news (INN). Everything is installed from the RedHat 4.2
(Biltmore).
Could there be any problems with this setup? It must run on a
486dx-something (minimum 66Mhz), we don't have the computer yet. And also,
how much ram should
we put in to the thing.
