So what about FreeBSD workstation? I'm running: A FreeBSD Server for MP3/QuakeWorld/Quake2/Half-Life - all on a P150 I haven't had it die yet. (Quake2 died, but that we were really stressing it out) Two FreeBSD workstations - one is a Dell Latitude LM for email (so far), the other is a home-built PII-350 that I run -current on (I really shouldn't, but at the time my SCSI didn't work in the -release versions) and I've run QuakeWorld, Q2, and others. Next time I update I'll get sound for games > By now i'm installing FreeBSD on my home pc, and obviously planing to > use it as "home pc", and i don't doubt about the capabilities of > FreeBSD as a server, but i would really like to hear an opinion about > FreeBSD as standalone system.
