You can update it with "really minimal system": I added some more swap, and mailman started :) So right now, it is: - debian running on a 200 MHz mipsel CPU / 32 MB router (ASUS WL-500G deluxe) - usb stick with 256 MB swap - system on another USB-stick - it runs apache2, postfix, sshd, openvpn, ez-ipupdate, crond, pppd and syslog - it acts as a internet gateway to a couple of PCs I wouldn't say that mailman is speedy there - an average operation in the mailman web interface can take even 10-15-20 seconds. But the thing that was the most important to me: web archive, works fast, and on average, it takes less than a second to serve a page. Provided that it's not a PC, but a router with a size of a book, with filesystem and swap on usb-sticks, I would say it's OK to keep an archive of a small site. -- Tomasz Chmielewski Software deployment with Samba http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
