I am trying to find more technical/administrative information on FreeBSD such as what are the size limitations on available filesystems, can swap be spread across multiple disks, what are the steps necessary to set up a system with two NIC's so that one NIC is connected to our campus network and the other is used to connect 4 FreeBSD systems together to share NIS, NFS, and other information, several NIS setup questions, advanced mail, web and ftp setup questions (such as web farming, etc.), how many users/ processes per RAM, CPU, DISK, NIC, etc... I have a LOT of questions :) Although I would love to have someone who could answer all of these questions for me, I think it would be better if someone could point me to a good source, or several good sources, of information in any format (web, print, email, etc.). For anyone interested in why I have so many questions, I'm putting together an Internet solution at our university to replace a DEC Alpha 3000 and the systems that we are looking at getting are four Dual Pentium II 333Mhz (we'll just use the one processor until a release version of FreeBSD with SMP comes out), 512MB RAM, four 4.5GB UltraWide SCSI drives connected to an Adaptec 3940UW controller, two SMC 10/100 PCI NIC's and 1 8mm SCSI Tape drive to be used among the four systems probably using amanda or a custom solution. Our DEC Alpha will be kept on as a PPP and DNS server and possibly as the Master NIS server. TIA for any leads or information that you can provide.
