I've now got to the point that I'd like to offer my own little testimonial, which I'd be glad to see posted on openbsd.org: In addition to my own web/mail services, I use my OpenBSD box as a HostsCache servant -- i.e., a first-time entry point to the Gnutella network. As one of two existing servers of this type in the world, I get amazing amounts of traffic on it -- something on the order of 25,000+ hits per day. One might think that, with the load that puts on the system, as well as the obvious potential for exploitability that comes with running such a high-profile service, I'd be dealing with constant server-related headaches. In fact, just the opposite is true; I've never been hacked, and the system's never even so much as hiccuped on me. I even left it completely unattended when I left for my honeymoon last June, feeling confident that it would be fine without me; it was, and I had a great time knowing I had such a reliable system at home. Alex Kirk ******* I have a LinkSys PCMCIA 10/100 in my laptop at home, which is currently unused do to busted screen, which would cost more to fix than it's worth (well, maybe $100 less :( ) ... *Might not work* for network installs. Got it going on both Free and Open after the fact though. I could probably make it work for a network install on Open, all I had t do was disable cbb, but your controller is pcmcia, not cardbus, anyway correct? Free uses a card daemon and some config files ... I think that's still set up on the machine. I'll take it to ... hmm ... still undecided, but leaning to mro's. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
