I am purcashing a system for a internet server (WWW, FTP, IRC, mailing 
lists, telnet, etc...) and I am in a grip to choose between Linux and 
FreeBSD.  

To help the situation, I am writing to ask if the following configuration 
has all the necessary drivers written for FreeBSD:

Inter Pentium Pro 200mhz
64mb RAM
4 gig FastWide SCSI seagate HD
Adaptec 2940W SCSI Controller
Toshiba 6.7X CDROM SCSI
Conner 3.2gig SCSI tape backup
Diamond Stealth64 (Trio S3 968 chip set) /w 2mb RAM
17" MAG monitor
Diamond Mutlimedia 28.8k modem
Ensoniq SoundScape (SB compatible)
LaserJet 5L printer

Any ideas on available drivers for some of these components?

And last question, generally - to set up a secure system that will be 
offering telnet accounts, why is FreeBSD more secure than Linux?

Andy
