>Hi, all! >My friends and I planing to use 2.1.7R-FreeBSD as main server >(DNS,Web,INND,FTP) for ours ISP network. >We want use something like this: PCI, Pentium-PRO ATX CPU, 64 Mb EDO RAM, >2x4.5 Gb SCSI, >8x SCSI CD-ROM, 10Mbit Ethernet. Please, recommend us hardware (firm, >model) known as best >(reliable, fast) working under 2.1.7R-FreeBSD (PCI devices if possible). > >--- >CPU: Intel 133Mhz. are a goof buy now. 200Mhz are damn pricey >Motherboard: Asus Motherboards are very good. I have never heard anything bad about them. Make sure the chip set is a Triton-II (Intel's 430HX PCIset) >SCSI Host adapter: I have had very good luck with Adaptec controllers. The 2940 is a very good PCI SCSI controller. >SCSI Hard drives: I have good luck with seagate drives. Others may tell you different. >SCSI CD-ROM: Do you really need 8X speed? If you are just using the CD-ROM drive to pull data off a CD save your money and buy a 4X. I have had good luck with my NEC. >Ethernet card: I have a cheapo NE2000 clone. The DEC PCI ethernet cards are very good. Josef -- Josef Grosch | Laugh while you can, monkey boy ! | FreeBSD 2.1.6 jgrosch@sirius.com | - John Warfin - | UNIX for the masses
