I believe Mr Chen did about as well as could be done on your question as asked. My question is, do you have an old system around that is too small, too slow? If you wanted to demonstate the use/power of FreeBSD as a DNS or mail server, firewall, and/or web server a 90 MHz Pentium or even a 486 would do just fine. You need at least 32 MB RAM and 64 would be better, but that would be a more usable demo in a business environment.
