Hi Donald!

I'm a newbie, only two months with my FBSD 4.9-RELEASE.

I have this on my /etc/make.conf:

CPUTYPE=p4
CFLAGS= -O -pipe

And everything works fine (I have compiled all the system, kernel,
ports, etc)

My box is a Intel P4 with HTT enabled, 1024M 333DDR RAM.

I asked about that in freenode (IRC) and these were the settings that
they tell me.

My box is a workstation + mail server + web server.

Excuse my horrible English :-)

Regards

Manuel
