Red Hat 7.2

[Van Lowe, John A]

The servers that I mentioned are running with the "ext3 Journaling File
System" as Redhat calls it. This along with the latest 2.4.7 kernel, gcc
2.96, and glibc 2.2.4. For mission critical systems it may be wise to hold
out on this configuration though (not sure how stable it would be if given
multiple process intensive tasks). Hope this helps!

I've purchased four dell poweredge servers all of which came factory
installed with Redhat 7.2 sbe and the first third party software I applied
was the MailScanner. Each of the mail servers, which btw is the primary use
of the systems, handles nearly 1300 emails a day most of which have
attachments. The loads on the servers have been minimal. Each server has
two
800mhz CPU's and 512Mb of Ram. The CPU idle time was around 95%. The system
has been running nearly a week without any problems. Good luck!

Hello

  As a user just about to embark on using mailscanner my question is has
anyone tried it on Red Hat 7.2?
I am purchasing a new box which is coming pre-loaded with 7.2 and wondered
if I should reload version 7.1
Any suggestions please
