Good Day, I have seen a good many questions pass by with an incredible amount of responses, thank you to all who answer those questions, you've saved many a people time to get things cleared up. If someone could help me out, it would be muchly appreciated as well. I run a P133 with 64M of RAM and 128M swap file and am wondering how many users this machine will handle before starting to choke. The machine is for shell accounts only, so people can only telnet in. Assuming the average user with usual tasks (mail, irc, some running screen perhaps ) how long before I should consider upgrading the machine and/or memory ? (If you think that upgrading the ram would be ok until X users are reached it would be great, as the price of ram hasn't been this low in ages =) ). Also another question (all of a sudden questions seem to be streaming in =) ) is that how many virtual domains can FreeBSD support, and what would some of you expierenced users recommend for RAM in such a machine? (lets take a minimum of perhaps 20 Virtual domains. The machine is dedicated to running VWH only, so users will most likley only use ftp, telnet and whatnot to upgrade their pages ). Thank You in advance, Christian
