Hi,
 
  I work for an organization that wants to have an Internet access.
They are looking mainly to have the following:
 
1- WWW server.
2- NNTP server for private use (Max 5 users).
3- Anon ftp server (20-50 max concurrent users).
 
My questions are:
 
1- Is there a WWW, NNTP, and ftp servers for BSD-type OS'?
   I checked NCSA, but found nothing for BSD.
   (BSD386, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux?)
 
2- What is the most suitable flavor of the above for this kind of job
   in terms of:
   a) Internet connectivity.
   b) Communication reliability.
   c) Number of peripherals supported (#of drivers included).
   d) Ease of installation and ease of administration.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Abdul Mutrib.
 
P.S. If you can also recommend a certain machine, please do.
