Well, I can tell you that the debian.org list server has 80000 subscribers
to all of it's lists. The largest list is debian-announce with 14
thousand.
The total traffic we do is on the order of 500000 remote deliveries per
day, with peak traffic rates of 30-40 remote deliveries per second.
Till recently it was running on an older P166 with IDE disks, now it has a
PII 400. It runs Debian GNU/Linux and qmail with smartlist (bleck).
My Devil's Advocate is whispering in my ear.....
I'd be very worried if it wasn't a debian-based machine!
I wonder if there are any major linux "vendors" who don't use their own
distros for internal use....
I once visited the machine room of a large local power company who was
thoroughly in bed with Compaq. They had 20-odd proliant servers, and their
NT-based office network PDC was a HP E70 (?)
