Wow, that's a big and fast machine, compared to some of the really OLD boxes that run FreeBSD 8.0 just fine with a load similar to yours (some of them with 500 MHz CPUs, 128 MB RAM and 20 GB disks). For server needs, go for 8.0, you won't regret it. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
