Hello, and thank you for your reply. Quoting Oliver Pinter <oliver.pntr@gmail.com>: > http://m0n0.ch/wall/ ? Good candidate. Thanks for mentioning it. On the up side - it's FreeBSD based. :) I guess my only disappointments would be that configuration is done by way of PHP. But of course I could fix that. Doesn't provide swap space - this seems like this could be a real liability under heavy load/outside abuse, even with a decent amount of RAM/Memory. Thanks again for the reply. --Chris > > On 1/29/09, Chris H <chris#@1command.com> wrote: >> Greetings, >> I'm RP for a fairly large chunk of IP real estate.
