The problem is, there is no way to be able to answer the original
question. It's very specific to the config on the box, and what else is
running at the time (hopefully very little).. The only way to really tell
is test it, and since (AIUI) this was originally setup as a 'developers'
list to help iron out bugs in what was very beta code.. if someone can't
work out if their server will handle what was asked, should they really
participate in such a user group? I'm not surprised of the flame, and not
trying to disuade people from posting, I'm just stating I understand where
the flame is coming from. Have no problem with helping other people with
problem, but lets use common sense, and try not to get people to predict
the future..

I barely read this list anymore because its direction has changed from
where it was originally.. same with other lists recently (notabily
hlds_linux if anyone else is subscribed to that).
