FastMail server question

DJF · 21 Aug 2003, 03:51 PM

This is purely out of curiosity, but what distribution of linux does FastMail use? I am wondering because I have a server that I use for email among other things, and am using Red Hat 7.2; and was just curious.

We compile pretty much everything from scratch, including the kernel. This is because we need to customise most of the software we use in some way.

Thanks Jeremy for the reply. I really like this idea. A linux from scratch approch is nice. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org I've always liked this idea because you always know what's on you system. Only what you need and use.
