 While we're at it ... I have this old Pentium 200 MHz with 96MB RAM
running FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE. How much more system resources (RAM and
CPU) FreeBSD 5.* needs in comparison to 4.8? I just want to hear some
educated guess, whether for me it is recomended at all to upgrade at
some point or am I better off tracking 4-STABLE (at least while it is
supported by security patches an such).
