Questions: - which version of freebsd can i install on pc 166 ? Can i install mail server on my pc 166 ? - I need a comfortable web site with many connexion. Do i install lot of RAM memory ? how can i have an IP fixe ( IP stable ) free ? - Otherwise, Where can i have install in externe web server on FAI and free ? Do you understand me ? thanks nico

Your firewall machine is not very powerful, plus it's generally better to separate server functions from firewalling if you can.> - I need a comfortable web site with many connexion. Do i install lot of > RAM memory ?Basically, yes: the web server will work a lot quicker if it can keep a memory cache of files rather than having to read them off disk every time. How much memory you need depends on your site's content and whether you're using such things as CGI, PHP or Java servlets.> how can i have an IP fixe ( IP stable ) free ? > - Otherwise, Where can i have install in externe web server on FAI and > free ?You're unlikely to get completely free IP connectivity, but if you hunt around for an ISP or Hosting provider you may find one that will give you a service package that suits you.

I personally prefer to run firewalls on OpenBSD, but I could easily run FreeBSD on it instead. I wouldn't try to run a huge mailing list on that kind of computer, but for a low-volume mail and web server and firewall it should be fine. -- Shawn K. Quinn

Do i install lot of > RAM memory ?What do you mean with "many connections"? How many simultaneous connections? Please give some numbers. Would you serve mostly static HTML pages, or will the content be highly dynamic (CGIs, mod_perl, java/tomcat...)?> how can i have an IP fixe ( IP stable ) free ?Ask your ISP for a static IP. Most ISPs will agree to give you static IPs for a slight surcharge (read: a few dollars or euros/month extra). If you can't get a static IP, consider using a dynamic DNS service, like e.g. http://www.dyndns.org/ with a DNS update client: /usr/ports/net/ddclient.> - Otherwise, Where can i have install in externe web server on FAI and > free ?What does FAI mean?> thanks > nico-- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
