Hey all, First off, my *nix experience=85 I=92ve run a few different distros on = the=20 mac and PC just checking stuff out, but never full-time =96 definitely=20= still a newbie. I have an old P166 here that I want to set up as a=20 headless file server (mp3s, divx, documents)/web server/sendmail et al=85=20= it won=92t be hit too hard, anyway. Will an old P166/64mb 66mhz SDRAM run FreeBSD 5.1 with X/KDE/Gnome ok?=20= Or should I forget about the GUI and just control it through ssh? I was hoping XFree would be useable, so I could run some apps remotely=20= using Apple=92s X11 on OS X. Which leads to question #2=85 how does one = run=20 an X application remotely like that, and have just the GUI on the local=20= box? The machines would be on the same subnet 192.168.1.x, with the=20 FreeBSD box on an Ethernet interface and the Powermac (1.25 ghz=20 duallie) on 802.11g. Thanks for any suggestions! Cotton=
