Hardware for UNIX/Free BSD
Hi!
I'm planning to start to set up a Webserver. All software has to be freeware. I'm also planning to use Free BSD/UNIX for this project. Apache as Webserversystem and so on... Therefor I would like to have some info about what kind of hardware I need. I'm planning to buy a computer P III or faster for this purpose. What is needable for thewebserver? (It is not going to be "alot" of trafic) Graphic, space, memory, motherboard ? yours faithfully, Kargooliw |

Check the information from http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/i386.html#hw is it match what you need?

The biggest resource hog in my experience is MySQL or any other database program. If you're just serving html and php then 1.x ghz is a fast enough processor. DBase queries can produce a lot of overhead in which case you'd do best to use two or more cpu's and at the very least, a gig of RAM. But that's just my experience, your mileage may vary.
-Seg edit: optimally it is best to run your DBase on a seperate server. |

thx
Okey, Thx alot for your answers!
First I have some questions concerning hachics experiences... Why is "2 3com nics" so important? (I have 10mbit connection, is a 10/100 Mbit NIC enough? And why is "sis video" important for a Webbserver? SEG says: that the motherboard should have two place's for CPU:s? - Do I need two 1.x Ghz:rs? Or can I use one fast CPU and one slower? Advantages / Disadvantages? I'd like to get a server with great performance at a low price. Therefor I'd like to know which parts of the computer that is most relevant. So that I can spend the money on etc, a faster CPU and so on. What about FAN etc? As I understand UNIX/LINUX are the best/cheapest OP:s for puting up a stable Webbserver. (?)
