To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am currently running a web/ftp server on the following hardware: 1.7 ghz AthlonXP 512mb DDR memory GA-7vtxe motherboard ...using a cable connection I use X-windows frequently and am wondering how much it affects the web/ftp serving performance. From reading past posts, it sounds like this is not really the best combination. I have another box laying around that is a P-166 w/ 48 mb of memory. I am thinking about setting this up with FreeBSD 4.5 as a firewal and print server (only serving 2 other computers), would this efficiently work as a web/ftp server box also, or is it too slow? What kind of hardware is required for serving a personal website...with really not a lot of traffic? Any advice is appreciated...
