If I wasn't running X, it would be a different story I hope so... I'm going to setup an intranet server for my school. It's going to house all sorts of pupil and teacher written information probably running of Apache. Also, It'll be running mini/mySQL with a perl CGI script accessing it to provide a database of useful web sites (a la Yahoo). Being a poor school, I'll get a 486DX2 with maybe 8MB RAM to work with. The machine certainly doesn't need X, so I hope this hardware will be enough! -- Andrew Boothman http://www.boothman.easynet.co.uk/andrew/ PGP Key available from public servers ICQ ID:17526634 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
