I am currently a Debian Linux 2.0 user whose system died and is in need of replacement. I chose Debian Linux for its reliability and ease of setup to forward Internet traffic between my dialup PPP connection and my LAN of 3 other machines. One of the things I liked most about the setup is that unlike the other OSes I have tried (NetBSD, OpenBSD, and LinuxPPC), Debian correctly forwarded DCC requests/transmissions (for Internet Relay Chat). A friend of mine wants me to use FreeBSD on my new system (probably about a 300 MHz K6-2, 64 MB RAM, etc..). My question for you is how well does FreeBSD handle my IP forwarding issue? Incidently... the system will also be running netatalk and apache for developing websites on my Macintoshes. Robert J Rust P.S. Current "dead" system is a 486DX2-66 w/8 MB of RAM and a 250 MB hard drive. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
