Hi,

  Just curious whether FreeBSD is able to support a Pentium Pro Machine
with 256MB RAM, (4GB * 5) = 20GB SCSI hardisk?  What about driver for
RAID controller.  Or is there a RAID 0 software out there for FreeBSD
platform?  

  Is it better to use Linux instead?  I'm running a Linux machine
myself, but my friend said that FreeBSD is more powerful and can support
the hardware specification that I've mention.

 I'm a new user to this FreeBSD OS, please reply me through mail.

Regards
Jonathan
