My firewall is the 2.2.8 machine (486-100) and my main machine is dual-boot (Win98 and FreeBSD 3.0). My wife's is a Win95 166MMX. I would like to upgrade the 2.2.8 machine, which only has a combined total of 660MB (220MB (/,/usr/local/,/var) + 440MB(/usr)). I would like the machine upgraded to the latest 2.2-STABLE with everything I need before the ports get to far gone and just to keep it up to date. I have considered putting 3.0 on the machine, but I think the ELF binaries are bigger and the machine is already hurting for space. I suppose I could compile the entire system on NFS too. What kind of performance hit would I take on the network or on the firewall machine?
