Hello, I am currently running Linux Mandrake 7.1 and have become disappointed with the performance of Linux on my system. It appears to be somewhat sluggish at times and slow to respond to various web/ftp queries. We are developing an Internet application, and from what information that I can find, FreeBSD was built to handle large user loads and is supposed to be more stable than Linux which is what we are looking for. One of our test machines is an Intel Pentium 500Mhz with 128-Meg ram, 16Meg 3dfx VooDoo3 AGP video card, 27.3 GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive, with a Ultra ATA 66 controller. What I am wondering before I decide to switch over the FreeBSD from my current Linux, is if FreeBSD will run on this machine setup. There appears to be a problem with the new versions of Mandrake 7.2 supporting this setup and to make things run would require much modifications before it could get installed. I would also presume that we could still do our standard web developments using FreeBSD as it should have similiar c++ library headers as Linux GCC and I am also guessing that MySQL can be installed as well?
