Exactly! I have nothing but praise for FreeBSD !  There is a machine at 
my university (486DX2-66 w/ 16MB RAM) that runs FreeBSD and is acting as 
a mailhost for 400 students with no problems! 

However I've noticed that is seems to be a bit slower than AIX ?! Can 
someone comment on this ? is this really so (i.e. have some benchmarks 
been performed) or am I imagining things ?
