Hi,
I'm considering right now to use FreeBSD for a Fileserver for a network
of about 15 workstations with different UNIXes such as Solaris, HP-UX,
IRIX. The server would have about 15GB disk space and would consist of a
powerful Pentium with fast SCSI and Ethernet hardware.
Can FreeBSD handle such a task? Is the NFS server implementation
reliable and fast enough to drive such a network without failures? How
does FreeBSD perform in comparison to other BSD's, Linux, UNIXware or
Solaris x86?
Thank you for any hint,
alex :-)
