A page of mine (Alas! not PmWiki) was slashdotted twice on a machine that was much more heavily loaded and much less powerful than yours. The uplink speed was 1.2 Mbit/s. I had no idea it would be slashdotted, so I was not prepared at all. The only effect was that the mail server running on the same box slowed down a bit. I did get some very impressive (to me) activity graphs from the web server (WebStar on Mac OS9). The slashdotting peaks lasted about 8 hours. -- Neil Herber Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
