I just had the unfortunate experience of setting up FreeBSD on a 486 sx/33 with 12 megs of RAM, and 8 megs of it was on a RAMpAT card on the ISA bus. It also has a 170 meg HDD. WOW, was X slow; 12 minutes to start the server.... K5-133 with 24 megs will work just fine. > > > Are there any proxy servers for FreeBSD, like WinGate for Windows 3.1 and > > 95, that will allow more than one machine to access the Internet over a > > single modem? > > FreeBSD supplies this. it's a multitasking OS, it had better be able to > gate multiple connections. I think we're talking proxy, not just gateing.
