Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk hey there! I'm putting together a bizplan and I want to get away from the unreliable nature of Win95. I have plans of using the InterJet and want to attach clients with a thin OS. I recently found out that the InterJet may work nicely for sharing a single comm line for a LAN and allowing the flexibility of having an onsite mail server, however it does not have the power to serve up active webpages (have a requirement for video/animation). The question is what sort of hardware will it take to have freeBSD/Apache serving up .avi files or RealPlayer, etc? Pentium 200, 233, 266......? and how much is the Apache software for freeBSD platform? RSVPASAP, Jon Van
