[OT] WTD: P2/400 CPU

Re: Mailman in Perl (Re: the list is dead, long live the list)

won't do much more than double or treble the hard disk usage of the OS, which will be small compared to the user data, and is still in a small order of magnitude. I bet you have libc5 and libc6 installed... It's still smaller than win2k... S. -- Shevek I am the Borg. sub AUTOLOAD { ($s
