I'm curious why the concerns about the stability of your NT host.  We have quite a few more than 125k subscribers.

Subject: Setting up a Linux Host


Hi everyone,

We are currently running Listserv on an NT machine. We publish
several discussion lists and have a total of about 125k
subscribers, so the load is not too severe yet. However, I have
concerns about the stability of our NT host and am growing weary of
rebooting the machine every few days.

Okay, so I have decided to run Listserv on a Linux machine. I am
excited to do this, but I have only intermediate-level experience
with the LinuxOS. I have never installed it on a server, either.

Now I don't want to get in too deep here, and the last thing I can
risk is costing our company money in the transition from NT to
Linux.

The installation docs seem very comprehensive, I'm not worried
about that. What I am interested in is hearing some feedback from
other administrators who have set up Listserv on a Linux host. Any
help for a (green but enthusiastic) colleague?

My thanks,
Adam Audette
