Already it's up over 200,000 hits/day, somewhere over 1.5GB served/day, and it's loafing around, CPU nearly idle, no paging; it can still do a new kernel build (while carrying the WWW traffic) in about 5 mins, so it has plenty of horses to spare:-). This thing is sitting on an ethernet (with a 3c509 board) with a T1 link to the backbone. We loaded it with FreeBSD 2.0.5R. -Bennett bet@mordor.com
