This is great. If I had to install a dozen more servers today, they would all get FreeBSD. It makes extremely good use of whatever hardware you care to give it. Indeed, FreeBSD can turn even junky old PCs into productive systems, since it is fast enough to do useful work even with creaky old hardware. Of course, this is presumably true with most versions of UNIX (those without a GUI to support, at least), but since my experience is with FreeBSD and it has been uniformly positive, I'll just continue with that. The thought of going back to a Windows server now makes my teeth chatter with terror--how awkward Windows servers seem now! (Then again, they seemed awkward even back when I used them regularly--have you ever tried to maintain a distant Windows server over a dial-up line with pcAnywhere?) -- Anthony
