My FreeBSD gateway machine, is a K6-2/400 on a FIC VA-503+ w/ 64mb of ram running 2.2.8. It is very stable and I've had little to no trouble at all with it. It runs Squid, samba, apache, nfsd, ppp, ipfw, etc... etc... and the current uptime is 31 days, the last time it was rebooted was when I put another drive in it. Hope that helps. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: gummibear@we.mediaone.net [SMTP:gummibear@we.mediaone.net] > Sent: Friday, May 21, 1999 1:02 AM > To: questions@freebsd.org > Subject: FreeBSD and K6-2's > > > > I'm thinking of upgrading my old P133 FreeBSD machine with a new > Motherboard, RAM and an AMD K6-2 350.
