How many categories?
Okay, we have seen some sites that use a very extensive categories. Some upwards of hundreds and hundreds, we anticipate that ours will be around 150 to 200, which I presume will mean that links 2.0 will create one directory and the associated files inside of it. Any clue how many categories Links can handle comfortably without choking, and is there any better way of doing this, as it seems that we would hate to go into our links directory and be confronted with 150 or more directories.
Thanks

Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of categories/subcategories you can have. Each one will have its own directory and its own html file in that directory.

You are only limited by the server space you have.

Thanks, we just found that out, we had more categories then anticipated, for a total of 575 categories with sub categories, and it compiles them all in about 22 seconds, although we don't have any links in them yet, I'm sure that will slow down the process considerably.
Thanks for the info.
