Date: Tue, 18 Apr 1995 01:41:37 GMT Followup-To: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Lines: 24 I am often asked to recommend a high performance machine for BSD/OS. Uses for this kind of beast include: * A timeshare system for a bunch of X Terminals (or PCs or Macs). * An NFS file server (data will come out of it at Ethernet speed). * An Internet information server (dns, http, ftp, gopher, veronica). * An Internet data processor (nntp, smtp, uucp). * An Internet terminal server (slip, ppp, bbs). * An Internet gateway and possibly firewall (bgp4, rip{,2}, hello). * An X workstation (maybe with a multi-screen display). * A mix of the above if you can only afford one big host. This text assumes the use of BSD/OS 2.0, and some of the hardware I recommend does not work on other systems or on early versions of BSD/OS. Caveat emptor.
