Hey all, First off, my *nix experience… I’ve run a few different distros on the mac and PC just checking stuff out, but never full-time – definitely still a newbie. I have an old P166 here that I want to set up as a headless file server (mp3s, divx, documents)/web server/sendmail et al… it won’t be hit too hard, anyway. Will an old P166/64mb 66mhz SDRAM run FreeBSD 5.1 with X/KDE/Gnome ok? Or should I forget about the GUI and just control it through ssh? I was hoping XFree would be useable, so I could run some apps remotely using Apple’s X11 on OS X. Which leads to question #2… how does one run an X application remotely like that, and have just the GUI on the local box? The machines would be on the same subnet 192.168.1.x, with the FreeBSD box on an Ethernet interface and the Powermac (1.25 ghz duallie) on 802.11g. Thanks for any suggestions! Cottonhome | help
