I have aquired the above system, with two Pentium 3 Processors each running at 1.0GHz, 512MB of ECC RAM and two 18.2GB 10k SCSI drives.
I am wondering if anyone can advise of a stable release of a linux distribution and/or BSD distribution that will run on this hardware which will take advantage of the dual-processors and all the other Intel Hardware.
My initial thought is to run FreeBSD 6.2 on the system, which will be running F@H, serving http, ftp and ssh accounts. As well as an eggdrop botnet. Can anyone see any problems with the idea of this? Perhaps any personal accounts of the above hardware?
This is being used to replace my current Pentium 3 800MHz, with 128MB Ram and a 20GB IDE drive.
Cheers
