Hi All,

I'm building a default gateway on my network and I've decided to use
FreeBSD to support the gateway however, the machine I was planning to
use is extremely low tech.

I wanted to know if a low amount of RAM would slow down my network? I'm
not going to use a KDE or GNOME GUI or even X for that matter. It will
only serve SSH and maybe FTP. So processes will be at a minimum.

Specs:
~ *32M RAM (can upgrade to 512, however didn't really want to)
~ *300Mhz
~ *5G hda

Will this BSD box slow down my network? Need some feedback, thanks in
advance.

HZS
