new server should be ready in 24 hours

course then I have to install mySQL and copy the forum over, but progress is being made folks.
I, for one, am excited.

Not the pinnacle of technology but for us I think it will be good for a few years
AMD 64-bit 3000+
· 768 MB DDR RAM
· 120 GB Hard Drive
· 600 GB Data Transfer
· 100Mbps Connection

running fedora core 6.

oh and since I haven't run linux since like 1999 with me at root all bets are off

Like 1000 for paying and 200 for non-paying.
But I'm happy with the current setup. Will MT.net work faster??

No, I am not going to unnecessarily increase our SQL DB.

ok Philip. Is there an option to download PM's to your HDD? I looked thru it and couldn't find it. It would be nice to be able to do that... becuase some PMs are really helpful.
