Good day everyone! I'm currently looking for a fairly inexpensive yet compact machine that I could put FreeBSD 4.0 on and turn it into either a simple workstation or a simple DNS/Mail/FTP server. I've eyed out a Dell OptiPlex GX100 Small Form Factor machine that has an Intel Celeron 500Mhz processor, 128MB of RAM, and a 7GB hard drive for around $825.00. I can probably find one that's refurbished for cheaper, but I really want to stay under $800 as much as possible. Also, does anyone know if any decent machines that are very compact (space is very limited and I don't want anything creating any more heat than necessary) and have at least the minimum specs below? - 350+ Mhz processor (Intel Celeron or AMD K6-2 would do) - 64-128MB of RAM - 6+ GB hard drive - > 8X CD-ROM (I know I can download FreeBSD 4.0 from FTP, but I would like to use the CD-ROM for other uses later on) - 10/100Mbps Ethernet card - VGA capable video card Features I don't care for: - Sound card - DVD - USB Devices - 3D video cards (hey... the most intensive graphics it might do is render /. on Netscape!) Any links to websites would be great! Thanks in advanced and I definitely like what's in 4.0-RELEASE!!! /****************************************************************/ /* Linh Pham [question@europa.com] http://www.europa.com/~question/ie.4a/Introduction.asp MSDN Online Member CAUCE Anti-Spam Member MP3/MiniDisc Loyalist */ // "I think I am, therefore I might not be" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
