I just did a similar migration at work myself. I assume you are planning on using Linux instead of Solaris x86. I did not run into major gotchas though getting the software to work will largely depend on distribution and whether you are building the software yourself. If you are running into a lot of I/O wait issues, I'd recommend getting a faster mail store. Also, I'd recommend breaking up the server into multiple servers. I'm averaging about 5000 accounts per dual processor Dell 1850 with 4 GB of RAM each with a Nexsan ATABeast as the storage per four servers. Your mileage may vary depending on your user base and their habits. -- Huaqing Zheng Beer and Code Wrangler at Large ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
