Sure. But we already have too much problems with our news server :-)

I'd like to know if someone is running inn1.4 on an EISA PC, with
AIC7770 SCSI ctrl, with /usr/lib/news on one channel and /news on the
other one. We can't have it running for more a few days. This is with
kernels 1.3.57, 1.3.8x, 1.3.9x and 1.3.100. We had to switch the
server to a PCI machine with a 53C810 card.
