No kidding- I have one old 486-66MHz doing all of this -> mail, apache, ftp, firewall, bind, dhcp server, pppoe, nfsd, etc. etc... It runs very good if you avoid perl that is -- spamassassin is killing it! [only 20MB ram]. If no spamassssin was running, it is quite usable for all this stuff all at once... Cheers, Adam PS. Even if totally loaded and swapping spamc, I can get full 125kB/s throughput from Internet and about 400-500kB/s from Apache over BNC. <lol> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
