I'm currently running apache/postfix/spamassassin/bind/mysql/wu-imapd. You have to be careful in setting up spamassassin to get its memory footprint down, ie, don't run it through procmail ;) Since you mentioned you'll be using it for an online gallery, I have linpha (linpha.sf.net) running on mine indexing about 1gig of photos and it works. If you're on a quick connection you can notice that it's slow in rendering pages, but when I put up my wedding pics and everyone was hitting it to check those out there was no stability issues. > But it handles the personal domain well right? With no extra costs? Correct. I spent US$100 for 12 months hosting and haven't had to spend a dorrar more. The only thing I would consider changing next time is to go for more than 64meg RAM as that has been the main thing limiting me doing Cool Stuff. -Piers. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
