Hi If I want to set up a proxy-server (because we just have a 64kbit internet link I think it would be a great idea), what kind of OS do you suggest me? Because of the number of maximum network connections, is NetBSD much better than FreeBSD? What is the fastest solution? Which FreeBSD Release is the best? What kind of machine do you suggest? Is a pentium-60 enough, or I'd better use a 100 Mhz or better? How many RAM is suggested, and is an 1Gb IDE disk enough? I think we have at about 30 clients running at one time (maybe in the future a little more), and I think I want to set up two proxy-servers, connected to each other, in the two buildings we have, because the link between the two networks is just 2Mbit.
