I'm considering buying a large PC, probably running FreeBSD, to allow
logins for about 150 simultaneous users. The reason I'm posting here
is that the computer I'm looking at is very similar to wcarchive: it's
a pentium/133 with 192M memory and four 2G wide SCSI-2 diks. Since
there are people here who have first-hand experience working with
wcarchive, I'm wondering if anyone could comment on how it performs
under the type of load that about 150 login users would impose. Any
responses would be greatly appreciated.
