The FreeBSD box is a comfortable PII-333 128/4.3gig. The NT machine is behind as a P200 (non-MMX) 64/2.5gig.. The FreeBSD box can build a kernel in about 2 or 3 minutes, no arguements here. :-) > >I'm using 386 DX/20s for routers. > --- At Heatseeker.net we use a P120 for routing. Gated is a resource hog, but I think it's due to my lack of knowledge with it, so it's causing loops or something like that. >Interestingly, a 386DX/20 is a lot peppier under FreeBSD than Linux. Yeah I'm Anti-Linux, for 2 reasons: 1> I hate the command set, I ran RHS 4 for like 2 months, and it didn't cut it. 2> The User-base consists of a lot of 14 year olds saying "Look at me, Look at me, I run Linux and can nuke people, and I don't run Win95, PHEEEER ME..".. Aparantely the developers don't seem to have a problem with that philosophy. Whatever adds to the user count I guess. > >I'm using 2.2.6 on them.

Also, make world takes a fair deal of time, and I almost crashed it last time doing it remotely. I am introducing a Solaris X86 box tonight, but I already don't like the insane load averages (It's a P200MMX 32/2.2, I shouldn't be seeing .28 for idle :-)). But I paid 10 bucks for it from SUN, might as well play with it some. (Oh and their reboot is broken too, but I heard I'm not the first to say that.). --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange 207-942-0275 http://www.droo.orland.me.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
