Hi!

At the University of Maribor we have decided to put up NEWS, WWW, FTP 
and PPP server for the needs of our researchers, professors and 
students. As we have no experience on this ground (our intention 
is not causing a holly war), we are wery much interested in which
operating system for this server would you recommend us. The server
will be installed on Intel, therefore Linux, FreeBSD (NetBSD) or Unixware
are possible to choose between them. We would like to know for your
opinion and possible experiences on this problem, especially on operating
systems limitations, such as how big system memory is (maximum 
addressable memory in operating system), what is maximum file system
size (especially on usenet) supported by a certain system, what kind of
servers you have (HW configuration) etc.
Altough these questions refer to technical support we very much hope
you'll answer them.
The answers and suggestions can be sent into news group or on email
address milan.lesnik@uni-mb.si. I assure you I will notify the 
abstracts in all groups where my basic mail was sent.

Thanks in advance.
