Well it the BSD 2.1 machine was (is) running on a 200 mhz machine so in comparison to my dx66 and the AIX machine that I use now its way faster! Overall though when I did get around to fbsd, I found many things very similiar to bsdi. Though really thinking about getting 2.2.5 on cd and installing it on a cyrix 166 that I have cause the only thing I seem to do with it these days is for fragging a few buddies on Duke3D!
