I am running http, smtp, ftp and ntp in addition to the normal mix of desktop
apps. I am at the 7,500 hits a day mark with the web server, most of which
are 320 x 200 graphics. This is well within my capacity. I strongly suspect I
will be into a much larger pipe before I seriously challenge even the single
CPU I am using.
Open BSD may be more secure out of the box, but what sysad runs an "out of
the box" system? I know I don't ... and I am strictly small-time. Running an
"out of the box" system is the sort of behavior I expect of a Microsoftie ...
not a Unix admin.
Since that is an illusory advantage, perhaps you would care to elaborate on
the real advantages of Free / Open BSD over a current Linux kernel.
No illusions here.
