	We use majordomo with the "majorcool" web front-end (allows people to
easily subscribe, unsubscribe and manage lists via our intranet).  Works out
pretty well -- we're running it on a PII running Caldera OpenLinux, but had
it working just fine on a 486-66 w/ Slackware for many years.  We only
switched because the 486 was non-Y2K compliant and because we wanted
everything in rack-mount cases.
