Faster than NT itself, not to mention stability. I can't tell you about how fast it will actually be, since my experience is limited to small groups only, but reading email is not that hard - provided your users don't send one each other 5MB files every hour. Samba will also run fina with your configuration, for most office applications. I mean that, if you intend to use this HW for LucasArts, while thy are preparing a sequence of takes, it wont be good enought, but considering normal levels of work around the offices, yes, it will be good enought. www.cdrom.com and ftp.freebsd.com have a configuration close to that, and serve up to 3000 hits/day (is that right ?), maybe more, w/o much loss. I hope it was of any help. If not, write to us again. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
