The last couple of days several threads have been going around
the lists about Crashing FreeBSD, IDE vs. SCSI, and general performance of
servers using FreeBSD, so the obvious aggragate question is what hardware
is adaquate for various tasks, such as:
DNS lookup
News server
Web server that gets 5,000 hits
50,000?
200,000?
1 million?
2 million or more?
FTP server for 10 users?
50?
200?
500?
1000?
2000?
5000 or more?
E-mail server for 10s or 100s of accounts?
1000s?
tens of thousands?
millions?
X-Server for 2, 5, 15 or ?? users
Terminal server for 5, 10, 50, 100, ?? users
Don't tax your mind unless you want to.
