Cc: hackers@FreeBSD.org Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Although this may not be pertinent to the hackers list, I think the answers belong on 2.1 ... somewhere under system specifications ... The better the answers, the better the doc I can provide you... Are there any rules of thumb for the amout of RAM for a FREEBSD server? I know that wcarchive is loaded to handle 450 users. Are there guidelines for how much RAM is needed for each of the following? each ftp client cern hpptd each web client are the client just considered like any regular login? How much memory is suggested per login? I think that some type of guidelines should be included with 2.1. If I get a thorough response, I'd be glad to do put collection together as a FAQ or a HMTL doc. Paul
