Running 233MHZ K6 with Ultra DMA 3 or 4 gig, I forget, and 384 meg ram. We chose FreeBSD on a friends recommendation for our Web server and have been really happy with the stability. Since coming from the windows/dos world, you will know how starved for that we are. I wondered about the Ultra DMA and in talking to some hardware types found a wealth of opinion that said IDE was IDE. We have been running since October 97 with no problems. The K6 was a question too, but aside from some installation hiccups, (I think we had to use a floppy from an earlier version, we are running 2.2.2) the K6 has been great. It's in the same class as the Pentium II and is a heck of a lot cheaper. Current versions probably cleared up the install problems. We've had to learn a lot in a hurry, but we'll be newbies for while yet... I hope this email (Netscape) is formatting OK?
