Howdy, The company I work for is going to buy a PC to serve as an NFS (and Samba) server for about 40 workstations and PCs. We're planning on using FreeBSD as the server's OS. The approximate hardware configuration we have in mind is: - P6, 200 MHz - 64MB RAM - Ultra Wide SCSI - 4GB SCSI hard drive - 100BaseTx ethernet I am interested in recommendations on what hardware to use, especially for the motherboard, SCSI controller, and network card. Stability, performance, and compatability with FreeBSD are the main concerns. I would also be interested in hearing recommendations for vendors, especially those who could offer a complete system. Also: are there any NFS-related issues that we should expect by using FreeBSD as the NFS server? We have a variety of client OS's, including SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x, IRIX, and HP-UX. For example, does FreeBSD support NFS locking? Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to this list.
