Re: ADSL question

Well, if you should opt for a USB modem, specifically the Alcatel Speedtouch modem, there is one ready on the ports: net/pppoa. The driver just had a recent upgrade so you may want to cvsup your net ports first. Everything is at http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net . I have mine setup like this and

celerons | pentiums

A newbie question: I don't know much really about the differences of the two processors except that (I think) Pentiums has a multimedia extension and Celerons has NOT. So, is there a significant gain (if any) in performance if you use Pentiums than Celerons on FreeBSD that is running as say a c

Thanks for all the replies. And yes, that's what my FAT32 is for... sort of a mediator for the different OSes which also contains important files but no directories for working applications. Ok, let me get this in short. You basically recommend me to follow this http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.IS

FreeBSD is widely used as a server. Being such, hands on it are of administrators which prefer the way it is, as is. It shines over ALL in the use of command line. I think you would be much better off trying Linux Mandrake instead. Hello, I dont have a question but I wo

Yes, exact kernel configurations too. To be specific, I just copy/pasted the extra options plus the pseudo-device gre. And, yes. The same, on a 256MB machine. I have also tried the advice of Colin to set the sysctl : net.inet.raw.recvspace=131072 net.inet.raw.maxdgram=8192 net.inet.tcp.sendspace
