Well I have FC1 running with all the usual server apps, apache/php, mysql, Sendmail, Bind. It's stable. Although my only gamble is what kind of security and bug fix support the future will bring. I don't feel like reinstalling every so many months. For this reason I am looking into WhiteBox also as they indicate their long term approach to support and errata. This being said, as long as repositories remain in existence providing errata updates I suspect FC1 will be a good solution for your mail server. The advantage is that it is easy to configure and anyway, even if you change platforms in future you can always migrate it to another box running whatever flavour of Linux you want, as long as you use sendmail, in my opinion. geeknet.nl if it's geek, it's chique! ++++ Message: 17 Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 11:25:23 -0200 From: Andre Costa <acosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Fedora ML <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: FC1 on the enterprise? Reply-To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Hi, I will probably be assigned the task of installing and configuring Linux on a mail server that handles a couple of thousands email accounts (close to 100,000). I had used RH Linux on production servers in the past, and have been using FC1 on my desktop ever since it came out. I can't see no reason why I would not use it for this assignment either, but if folks on this list could share some experiences (not necessarily related to mail server installations, but any FC1 enterprise use), I would be most grateful. BTW: I know about WhiteBox Linux, and I don't really discard it as an option. Any experiences related to using it are welcome as well (although I don't think I will find many on this particular ML). TIA Andre
