I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some tips on what to expect 
and what is needed to start a WWW server under FreeBSD2.1.

Items that Im interested in cover areas like, how much memory/user needed, CPU 
requirements, HDD space requirements, and how to handle (many) user accounts.  
The server needs to be able to handle a small college's (our existing network 
has ~1400 users on it).

Thanks,
Stephen Hepner
