Howdy all!

My ISP, which is running 2 NT boxes (Unix knowledge == 0), asked me to 
install and run a FreeBSD box, to be used as a "multi-host web server"
(is it english? ;-)
I'll be the system administrator, not the author of the web pages.

I think I have an adeguate knowledge regarding Unix and tcp/ip 
networking to do such a job, altought I have been connected to the
internet only via ppp (I mean I have never run a box connected 24h a day).

My questions are:
1. since I've already a part-time work and I'm studying, I don't want to 
assign many hours for this new work. Are ten hours/month enough to cater 
to such a web server? (please try to limit flames ;-)

2. any suggestion/examples for a fair wage?
