I'm using an old Compaq P166 as a stand-alone FreeBSD box and I love it, have found myself spending more and more time on it and living the PII (dual boot Win and Slackware) and PIII (Win98 only) to the wife and kids. I suspect that I'm getting better performance with this little box than they are with Windows. I've noticed that X and Netscape use the most cpu at 7%, can Windows compare to that? :-) My goal is to make this box my gateway for our DSL, right now the PIII is doing that job but I think FreeBSD would do it better. Honestly I've got a bit of a learning curve first, I want to really know what I'm doing, not do it 'cookbook' style.
