Check out http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/dal-upgrade.html. There's a lot of good information there on configuring your kernel and your system to run an ircd in the most optimized fashion possible. As far as hardware goes, ircd doesn't require much disk space, but it does use a fair amount of memory, depending on how large of a network you're on. I would recommend a minimum of 64 MB of memory, or if you're on a large network, at least 128 MB. ircd doesn't use that much, but that way your system still has plenty of memory left for its other tasks. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://home.dreamhaven.net/~data * * "Insanity takes its toll.
