Sorry if this is a re-post, but I don't think my first attempt made.
Congrat's to the FreeBSD Team on the 2.1R release.
I went with many of Jordan's Picks for hardware and the 2.1R release
is up and running very well.
Hardware:
I've got a 90MHz Pentium MB with 32 Meg EDO ram on a ASUS P55TP4Xe
motherboard.
An Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller and a 2.1 disk.
#9 771 with 4Mg Vram.
Software is operational:
I've built (compile and link time) in about 7 minutes.
User PPP runs like a champ (It was up for a few days straight)
X is running
Netscape 2.0B4 and Netscape news works.
FTP, Telnet, and a WWW server are jamming along with Mail.
I have a few questions, but I like to say that I'm a very happy
customer and IMHO that the FreeBSD team did an EXCELLENT job !
