I use it at home on a small 10Base-T net with a Windows-95 machine
as the basis for my job. Sadly, I live in Dallas while the company
for whom I work is in Silly Valley. I connect via ISDN to my local
provider. I have eaten, slept and breathed BSD for, like, the past
15 years or so, and the notion of going Windoze 95 cold turkey just
scared me to death....
In short, I use it at work and home as a production machine where I
write (and debug...) compilers on it.
For the terminally curious, I currently run:
kern.osrevision = 199306
kern.version = FreeBSD 2.0.5-950622-SNAP #0: Thu Jun 22 04:15:25 1995
root@westhill.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC
Which is pretty much right out of the box on a Dell Pentium 90 with
a #9 GXE64 card, 16M and a couple gig of WD3100 disk space.
I've had no problem with it at all and am quite happy with it!
