i've never been anything near the extreme-green movement. i figured that newer computers/cpus/etc would be more efficient than what came before. still, getting-real, i checked out the power stats for the various chipsets. right now, everybody is racing for efficiency. not here yet. i'm thinking of buying another dell dual-core and using it as a backup Sever. DNS, web, mail. also it would function as my new "tao". if the freebsd.ORG wants my present dell, 2.4ghz computer, great. i'll ship it off on my dime. what i'm wondering is:: how good is this "PC-BSD" at being a server? i mean, if it's good at being a toy [to listen to A/V STreams and other less-nerdy things], it probably can't be that solid on handling DNS ... at least not as well as FreeBSD. If anybody onlist has messed around with PC-BSD for *server* stuff, i'd be very interested in hearing about it. tia, y'all gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.83a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org 99 44/100% Guaranteed Novel
