Thise services will run on:(DSL)router,NAT, firewall, proxy, mail, ftp,=20 web,apache,SSL, PHP, amavis, antivirus. 120gb disks, 1gb ram, amd or intel We are a small company in Slovenia Please am desperate nobody work in Slovenia with BSD. BYE VLado **************************************** I'm presuming the Promise ATA133 RAID on this=20 board is the PDC20276 onboard chip or similar. =20 I'm happily running 4-STABLE (a/k/a 4.7 release=20 candidate) on a motherboard using that chip, so=20 if you decide to do IDE RAID you should be OK. If you are indeed going to run a server, you=20 will likely want to run RAID 1 rather than=20 RAID 0. RAID 0 would give increased performance that you are unlikely to need; RAID 1 would provide increased reliability that you are very likely to need if others (company employees, customers, etc.) are going to depend on this server.
