do you think a good 486/66 w/ SCSI hard drive running FreeBSD can
handle 20 or so concurrent users?  the machine would be on a
university backbone to the net and would be handling email, NNTP from
another server, a gopher site, and www (outgoing only) for
college students.

what would be recommended memory?  disk space?  would NetBSD be 
different?

all help appreciated--thanks...
