My first FreeBSD box was donated to me by a co-worker (Jay). It was used for my ADSL firewall (in Wellington, NZ). It ran my mail server, mailing list server, firewall, webserver (yes, FreshPorts and The FreeBSD Diary ran on it for a while), and file server. It has 16MB of RAM and was a 486 (speed forgotten, but is most likely recorded in the diary somewhere) and took 56 hours to run build world. But it ran, didn't die, and ran well. This was 2.2.8 and early 3.*. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
