Re: [PHP4BETA] PHP on Linux box - Linux version for heavy site?

Think about this in the way that all httpd's up to MaxServers should fit in memory. Linux itself can handle much more, that's really not going to be a bottleneck.

I'd suggest you for such traffic-site take a dedicated server, usually provider would set up Linux for you, and maybe (probably with additional payment) also to setup Apache, PHP and MySQL. But the latter is not a rocket science too - everything is described in detail in INSTALL files. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665
