I have a rash of older equipment here and wanted to know how compatible 2.2.5 or 2.2.6 is with older hardware and how well it will run if at all. I have a rash of 386 boards with 2-16 megs of ram. Will FreeBSD be of any use for on these sort of machines? I already decided that the 286s won't work and need to hit the dump :) Also...how much HD space is required to run the OS. For instance I have several HDs under 100 megs. Can I use one of those HDs and setup a router with on it? How much ram is needed? How much HD? How much Memory/CPU is needed? I guess what I need to know is basic minimiums for FreeBSD. I would like to run a Router that can IP alias for several machines over a Ethernet Internet connection. Am I asking too much of this old hardware? Thanks in advance Jason Cribbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
