texte = I am currently running a (for me) busy site on an iMac doing around 1.7 million pages per month (all served through Typhoon Pro).I will be upgrading to WC 4.0 and setting up some stores on this site as well. (the machine currently serves about 45 domains).I am trying to decide what platform to use for the future. I have heard great things about using Linux etc. I do not wish to use NT (of any flavor).One of my biggest requirements is the ability to manage the server remotely as I am in Germany and the servers are in the states. I am not aware of software that will let me do this on a Linux or Mac OSX machine.I have the possibility of getting a multiple processor RS6000 machine for dirt cheap so I could run Linux or AIX on it. Or I can buy a bigger faster Mac and put Mac OS or Mac OS X Server on it.I expect the primary domain to be doing in excess of 5 million pages per month by the end of the year, as long as the machine / software can keep up with it.What would you folks recommend for a hardware / software platform?Thanks-- Dale Therio +49 69 263 19977 office Dresdner Kleinwort Benson Research +49 69 263 11379 fax Jürgen-Ponto-Platz 1 +49 170 934 3610 mobile 60301 Frankfurt, Germany > From: Brian B.
