Wow...thanks!  On that note, I have a question...

(preface: I haven't worked with Unix since college about 8 years ago, I use
NT and know how to manage it and develop apps. for it very well)

1. Is the performance of a Jabber Server dramatically better on Red Hat
Linux?

2. If so, which Red Hat Linux do I need - standard, deluxe or pro?
(https://www.redhat.com/commerce/redhatlinux.html)

3. If not, is it ok to run my Jabber Server on a server that's already
getting a lot of traffic in general (i.e. this is a Pentium III Xeon 550Mhz
with 256Meg of RAM)....would it be better for me to just install Jabber on a
seperate 2nd server I have (Pentium III 233Mhz with 128Meg of RAM)...I was
going to use this one for a Linux server running Jabber....but with the
Win32 version coming out I was wondering if I should just put it on my
bigger NT server or maybe just make the 2nd server an NT server and use it.

Thanks much for any suggestions,
Robert
