Re: [cobalt-users] Cacheraq2 and Skycache (my cache can't keep up)

Randall,

This was just discussed recently on the inet list.  From what
I gathered, you would need a system more like this:

Pentium II 400Mhz, 1GB ram, SCSI Ultra controller and around
50GB of drive space. Obviously, the better the hardware you
can afford will help.  A Raid array would also be good. ;)
(we outsource our news because of this, and besides..., it's
a pita.;)
