Sigh. Yup... I noticed that 64MB might be a little short when I set one of these up earlier today. :( I think I'll do 128 for now, since the price difference gets absorbed fairly easily into the total cost. > Good luck, and write an article about it when you're done.

Although I have a soft spot in my heart for Linux, I prefer to use FBSD for "important" stuff, and it's about time that it gets some more good press... Due to the fact that this project is for a medical lab that's subject to the upcoming HIPAA regulations (check out www.hcfa.gov) and Medicare compliance policies, there's a lot to be said there about how FBSD handles the security aspects of this whole thing as compared to Redmond products... :) --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
