Re: [SLUG] (no subject)
Most linux distributions are free...thats not just a Mandrake thing. One thing mandrake might have over other distributions is that it has been optimised for Pentium architectures where as redhat and others have no optimisation for any specific architecture and therefore will work on just about any system from 3x86 upward. If the machine you wish to set up is simple only a mail server then you wont want a bloated distribution with all the fancy frills...you'll want a light weight rock solid distribution...something like slackware or debian might be a good choice.. As far as ease of configuration and administration goes...mail servers on linux can be bastards as far as i'm concerned. I run Qmail here at home, but i've also played with Sendmail and Postfix. I think you should find which ever one has the least security/bug issues and use that, and install a remote administration tool to help you configure/administer the server...like webmin(as someone else already mentioned).

Re: [SLUG] (no subject)
Terry, as Paul Daniels and othes have mentioned, everyone has their preferences regarding linux distributions and mail server software (MTA). This is probably not what you need to consider. Instead, I'd work from the other direction. Once you have the mailserver working, you'll want to maintain it. Your company will replace staff, software will need upgrading, you may want to add further functionality. So, the first thing to do is to look at who will be managing the system. There are few things more discomforting than unmanaged, internet connected servers, IMHO. Your objective is to implement a solution that will be manageable. That means that the distribution and MTA need to be ones that the administrator is comfortable with. If you are looking at having someone else build the system, make sure that they either - maintain the system - provide adequate instruction in maintenance. What you don't want is to have someone build you a mailserver, plug it in and leave you to fend for yourself. With foresight, you can set up a system that will require very little maintenance. In short, a well maintained but less hard core installation is better than a poorly maintained ultra hard core installation. BTW, if I were implementing this, I'd install Debian/postfix. While Debian is less user friendly during install, I like its maintainability. And I'd install postfix because I know it. Once debian is installed, your maintenance is pretty low stress.

Hi, You need to work on the cost and the bandwidht constraints before making any such decsion. All web hosting services can offer you JSP servers, but you have to decide which one do you want you use. Do u want a freeware like Tomcat or Resin(close to free) or Orion or Jetty. or if your clinet has $$$ and can pay and buy websphere/weblogic . If you do not have bandwidth issues there is no harm in setting it in your client's office. hth, SHuklix.

If you're running webmin on that there is a good overview package called systats. Visit the webmin home page.

Re: [SLUG] (no subject)
The advantage doing a differential, rather than incremental, is that a file modified on Monday is also backed up on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With an INCREMENTAL, the Monday file will only be on the Monday tape, as the archive bit is reset after backup. Thus requiring only 2 tapes for a full restore at any time. Yes, correct... And also correct about tar, which is a pain Although I have a script (from Anthony Rumble) that seems to build a list of files and then back them up - you might modify that. I think you can use the -d option for tar, to create a list of differences since the last full backup, for the daily backups. I'm currently using the same backup scheme you are on a home network, except I do incremental daily backups over NFS and full backups each Friday to DDS-2, keeping the last Friday backup of every month. Works out to be 22 or 23 tapes per machine per year. Less if each tape set backs up multiple machines.

RE: [SLUG] (no subject)
Yep, you've run out of virtual memory (VM). You might want to run top and
see how much swap and real memory you have, and determine if you have got a
runaway memory hog. The processes that have been killed are just the ones at
the time that were after more memory, and may not be the culprits.
Here's the code from ./arch/alpha/mm/fault.c (I'm sure it similar for
Intel)
/*
* We ran out of memory, or some other thing happened to us that made
* us unable to handle the page fault gracefully.
*/
out_of_memory:
if (current-pid == 1)
{
current-policy |= SCHED_YIELD;
schedule();
goto survive;
}
up(mm-mmap_sem);
if (user_mode(regs))
{
printk(VM: killing process %s\n, current-comm);
do_exit(SIGKILL);
}
goto no_context;

It could be you have run out of memory. Once you run out of memory,
linux starts killing processes.
Boot to single user mode and check your swap is working and
that linux sees all of your memory. (use the 'free' command)
