the box will not be getting many hits, is mainly a net sharing box (we still have not the money for a static IP) As soon as I have the money the box will be upgraded probably an athlon 650mhz 128 mb ram and 20 gigs hdd mind you the box speed is not critical as it hangs of a 56k dial up line lol (Perth AU sucks for net connection) Kathy ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike johnson" <ahze@slaughter.necro.edu> To: "Kathy Quinlan" <katinka@magestower.com>; "freebsd questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2000 6:20 PM Subject: Re: setting up freeBSD > > On Sat, 18 Nov 2000, Kathy Quinlan wrote: > > Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 15:44:14 +0800 > > To: "freebsd questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > > From: "Kathy Quinlan" <katinka@magestower.com> > > Subject: setting up freeBSD > > > > Hi all I am a newbie :o) > > > > I am setting up a freeBSD box that will control so dedicated io cards > > under > > C (not a problem they currently run in this machine under dos using QB) > > > > This box will also be a server for the local LAN (Mac to PC interface) > > printer server for Mac, internet distribution and ftp / email / web > > server > > (not much traffic). > > > > The machine specs are : > > > > 486 Dx2 66 > > 16Mb ram > > 800Mb hdd > > I have the same setup on a box.
