Hi Folks, Just thought I'd pass along my ISP experience on FreeBSD. I had been running a 486 with just 16mb of RAM as the main file server. Call me unwise ... what a difference adding the next 16mb made. Swap space use went to zero, "xperfmon++" shows mostly green blocks. Since we use external terminal servers (Livingston), user ioload is minimal. Still, a fair amount of activity on the server however. Other than an unresolved problem with getting a newsgroup server running, (I know I am doing something wrong) FreeBSD has been the foundation of all we have done. I have some LINUX advocates looking to see if they can get a news server running on our 32MB P5-133 with 9gb of SCSI disk. I'd rather stay 100% FreeBSD. I've attempted to install "innd" several times. Printed reams of docs, source, searched and read everything on the search engine. Any ideas? Thanks David
