FreeBSD Extacy.homeip.net 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #2: Sun Dec 19 04:59:10 EST 2004 Niy@Extacy.homeip.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/EXTACY i386 last pid: 77942; load averages: 0.05, 0.09, 0.08 up 2+17:49:55 17:52:00 107 processes: 2 running, 104 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 4.7% user, 0.0% nice, 4.3% system, 1.2% interrupt, 89.9% idle Mem: 89M Active, 49M Inact, 62M Wired, 9092K Cache, 34M Buf, 33M Free Swap: 650M Total, 69M Used, 581M Free, 10% Inuse Now, on this server I run: PF & Nat, serving my entire internal LAN. It is my gateway from the DSL to my LAN. Nfs client and server. It's my file and back up server. Apache2 W/ PHP and SSl, it's my web server for various projects, and acts as a back up web server for a friends project. MySql (For some database driven web projects, and for virtual domain e-mail.) DNS - Zone authoritave and caching. DHCP - For the times when I need to add another machine to lan quickly. SMTP, IMAP, POP (and their Secure equivalents) - Handles e-mail for a few domains, probably ~5000 mails a day, with all the lists and groups some of these people are on. (Myself included). Spam filtering. SSh VNC over SSh. X.org & enlightenment (So I can use synergy, since the server and my workstation are right next to each other.) A few eggdrop bots. Top and PFTop are constantly running, so I can be constantly in awe of just how well this thing runs. A few other random and various daemons for monitoring and the like. All on a generic + PF kernel. I never did any real kernel tuning. That's next week's project. - Niy.
