I've got an old 486DX/33 running 4.0-STABLE with a 2 GB drive and 40 megs of ram. It's used primarily as a shell server for pine and irc, and it also hosts a few small web sites and an ftp site. It's amazing what you can do with some old hardware and FreeBSD. I started with 16 megs, but it was paging out quite a bit. I picked up some cheap, used 4 MB 30-pin SIMMS on eBay, and now it's happier. `make buildworld` takes about two days, though.. Ed.
