We are receiving a new server at the University that I work for. It is supposedly a Dual Pentium II with 256MB of RAM and various other sundries. This is to be a file/web/other server for about 900 students. Being a System Administrator of Unix systems I would like to keep it as a Unix server. Is FreeBSD SMP ready for this sort of task? If no, how long should I wait? I thank anyone for any input and/or refferences to other solutions. -- Kyle Wayman System Administrator Cal Poly - EE Department -- P.S. Thanks for the advice Steve :)
