FreeBSD is available for downloading at ftp.cdrom.com (which
itself is an impressive machine running FreeBSD 2.0). The 2.0.5
CD-ROM should be available RSN. Run it on a $2000 486 box and you've
got a very nice Web server. It also runs NCSA httpd 1.4 in pre-fork
mode, supports virtual network interfaces right out of the box (no
need for VIF patches, or limiting yourself to just two IP addresses)
and the commercial Netsite BSD server runs on FreeBSD. Note that
Linux supports none of the above. ;-)
See http://140.109.40.248/~taob/Bench/ for some notes on FreeBSD as
a Web server (running Apache and NCSA httpd).
