Why bother worrying about it? Because the linux box can do it without
adding any additional cost. :)
Anyhow, running:
Mail, News, Web, Router, and Shell on my linux box, I average around 0.80
to 1.10 on my load, which is really not that bad at all, given that its a
measly 486DX4/100. A ballsier machine can, I'm sure, bring that load value
down much lower.
