In a company I provide solutions for, for an office with 10 PC's in the network I successfully use a Pentium-120 with 16MB of RAM for the last 5-6 years without any interruption :) And those people do web-based applications, doing quite a lot of up/downloads and alike. This server is router/packet filter/DNS and runs about 0.10-0.15 load all the time... But that be said, it doesn't have many DNS requests, as well as little disk activity on the server itself due to other jobs than routing/NAT/firewall. And as it runs well, the owner doesn't want to change it, though anything you can find for free on the streets would already be an upgrade to this computer :) So, as mentioned, amount of RAM depends on what you want to do. But FreeBSD is a wonderchild here in my opinion, so you might well need less than you expect, if you're not yet very familiar with FreeBSD. good luck, ANdrei http://students.oamk.fi/~t6ruan00/ ------ Never argue with an idiot.
