I'm going to be bringing up a new news/mail relay machine for Yale in the next
few months, and I'm wondering if there's really that big a difference between
B News and C News.
Our current setup: IBM-RT, B News 2.11.19, nntplink, newsxd, C News expire
15 feeds (5 nntplink, 6 nntpxmit, 4 uucp). uucp feeds
are a miniscule portion of our newsfeed.
The load average cruises along at around 2.0 most of
the day.
Nobody reads news on this machine, nobody logs into
this machine (except staff types).
The new setup: Sun SparcStation-1.
If we switch to C News, I'll probably convert our newsreading machine over
too. It's currently an IBM-RT, B News, leaf site, big disk, ~150 nntp readers
(~40 at any one time), no local logins, load average < 1 most of the time.
So what will C News buy me? A lower load average (that would be nice)?
Less maintenence (not that there's much to do now)? Better conformity to
the RFC's? Something else?
Just curious,
