I'm not sure that's fair. Handling a low to moderately trafficked
mailing list (I would hardly call this a high traffic mailing list)
is a reasonable expectation of these machines, especially given that
they ship with majordomo installed. I've run much bigger lists on
much less. For that matter, I'm running several mailman mailing
lists on a Raq3i right now, with combined traffic easily much greater
than what is on this list without incident.

I have a lot fewer complaints about my Raq than most folks seem to
have about theirs; but I DO think it's odd that they don't use one of
their own products for the purpose. 

Of course I saw where Linux Journal was recently taken to task for
some of their servers running NT. I guess proselytism is a farther 
throw from commitment than I thought. I also remember saying once 
I would never use RedHat.
