What kind of information do you need for me to get "intelligent input"? It's mainly 5-7 user system, but mainly I'm on it. It's got Apache webserver running to server up about a dozen webpage, that doesn't get a lot of traffic.. about 1000 hits per month in total. I'm running samba on it and intend to use it as a fileserver as well. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
