System 1 is going to be a firewall, system 2 a web server and ftp host. Right now I'm looking at the following hardware for these systems: System 1: ASUS P2L97 motherboard (P-II 266|300|333) 128 MB RAM 32x IDE CD-ROM 1.44 Floppy 3C9XX 3COM ethernet cards Single 2GB(+-) EIDE HD Cheap trident ISA video card System 2: ASUS P2L97 motherboard (P II 266|300|333) 128 MB RAM 1.44 Floppy 3C9XX 3COM ethernet cards 32x IDE CD-ROM (or SCSI) Adaptec 2940 2 4GB SCSI HD Cheap trident ISA video card Eventually I'm planning on running the consoles to a serial connection, so the video cards are non-critical. Can anyone suggest improvements to these configurations? ----- Mark Mark Thomas -- pmpro, inc. -- thomas@pmpro.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
