My experience is that unless you are running IPSEC encryption, or some other very CPU intensive process on the LEAF box, CPU speed will not be a limiting factor.
A 486/66 is capable of supporting a busy T1 , or even a 10mbps ethernet link. 32Mb is usually plenty of RAM.. 64Mb is tons! Allocating more RAM for the logs can help deal with heavy logging activity. ------------------------- Henry Psenicka Manager, Technology Services Town of Milton -----Original Message----- From: Steve Sobka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Todd MacDougall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Henry Psenicka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Lars Kneschke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wed Sep 04 18:59:19 2002 Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Considerations for a large number of users I run bering 1.0 RC3 on a 100 node network connected via a T-1. I have noticed no degradation of service once it was installed and it still performs DHCP/DNS Cache great. Im running it on a Pentium 100 w/64 megs of ram. note: I also have another bering box that acts as a firewall for a heavily trafficked webserver that keeps a separate T-1 saturated about 98% of any given day in both directions. It never hiccups, it's moves along very nicely with my only problem being that log files fill up very quickly on that box, which is running a K6-233 with 64 megs of RAM. .Steve Sobka ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lars Kneschke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Todd MacDougall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Henry Psenicka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 7:52 AM Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Considerations for a large number of users > On Wed, 04 Sep 2002 10:34:41 -0400, you wrote: > >I plan on using the Bering distro to service up to 75-80 users.
