I've been running a mail/web/dns server as well as a NAT gateway on a 386dx40 with 8meg RAM for several years. One caveat is that you need at least 12 meg RAM to run sysinstall on more recent versions of FreeBSD, but I could do a buildworld on a faster machine, then installworld on the '386 just fine. It's recently been retired from those duties and now serves as just a fax server, but it's always done the job. DNS, mail for a handful of users, and a low traffic web site isn't all that demanding. After all, this machine was state-of-the art 10 years ago. :-) Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
