First, thanks for your offer and your commitment to contribute to the distribution of FreeBSD. I cannot speak for the project, just for myself. Alas, your equipment seems not sufficient for the job. A full mirror of FreeBSD can consume up to 50 GB, you would have to make a _very careful_ selection of what to mirror and still have to fight with full filesystems. Bandwidth may be ok, but could become a bottleneck. CPU and memory may not be the issue, but will also limit the number of clients (and the services you can offer) (esp. memory). Here are some figures for my site, which handles on average about 40 FTP , 3 rsync and 2 cvsup connections (but not just FreeBSD): 4 x PPro 200 (just like yours, but a 4-way SMP), 512 MB RAM, and ~ 400 GB on disk arrays, 100Mbps switched to a shared OC-12 line.
