Hi,
I am about to build a new web, dns and mail server for our company.
The one we have now runs on a Sparc20 with Solaris, but I don't like it.
I want to build it on an intel with FreeBSD, and am basically just
seeking some ideas on the hardware config. It is a server that with time
(hopefully) will get a heavy load.
I was thinking:
Pentium 2 =~233Mhz, 128M RAM, 4G HD...
Is this too weak? Too much? I am really picking these numbers out of
nowhere, so any experienced feedback would be much much appreciated.
Also, when I install FreeBSD on it, should I do a minimal install, or is
there other stuff I might need?
Thanks again,
You guys are the greatest.
Roman
