Well, 2xppro/256ram can stand load averages 500 (caused by tcpd/smurf attacks), but then you can go pour coffee, take a smoke or something. Still, something tell's me it lies, - when such machine is an nfs client (runs httpd's) and it's server is gone, it'd hang (you still can type, but before you see an echo you can freely get one or another cup of coffee) and state it's load average is something like 120. Maximum I saw when perfoming sadistic actions on such boxes is 900 - while (); fork fork and fork find / -print |xargs ls -alRt |awk etc etc ..., then it will die 'cause out of swap ~650Mb, memomory (and a wish to live such a life ;)) # # Go FreeBSD!!
