Hi Bryan, > Looking to use FreeBSD as an NFS/App server for 10 Solaris clients I use FreeBSD for nearly everything and I'm not very familiar with Solaris(yet), but since all your NFS-Clients are running Solaris, I wouldn't recommend using FreeBSD as your NFS-Server. Sun is actually giving the new Solaris 8 for Intel/Sparc away almost for free (just the cost for the media, $75 I think). So in your case I'd rather setup an Intel box running Solaris 8, although it hurts to say that... > II. Cost aimpoint is only $1,000 due to budget > (2)Cel466+256MB+(2)30GB-7200+Tulip will meet that > Comments on SMP, RAM size, IDE, Tulip? Have a look at http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/index.html for hardware compatibility with Solaris. > III. Software RAID-0 for speed? Installer, tools ... You'd need the Solstice Disk Suite to create software RAIDs on Solaris (similar to vinum on FreeBSD). I think the Disk Suite is shipped with Solaris 8. I'm not yet absolutey sure about this, I'm still waiting for my Solaris 8 media kit... > FreeBSD rocks!!!
