Once I set up a small FBSD server (486-66/w 8 megs of ram, before I upgraded to 40megs) that could saturate 10megabit ethernet on its own, while doing full packet inspection. Who needs a Pentium?:)
He's bitching about a pentium? My firewall/e-mail server is a 486 w/ 8megs of RAM!
From the FreeBSD handbook:
3.4. What do I need in order to run FreeBSD?
You will need a 386 or better PC, with 5 MB or more of RAM and at least 60 MB of hard disk space. It can run with a low end MDA graphics card but to run X11R6, a VGA or better video card is needed.
