I mean the best/fastest hardware combination for webserver and mailserver.

A week ago I installed OpenBSD 2.8-stable on i815e/aha29160/Seagate 
Barracuda 18G/512M RAM/3C905C/PIII-800.

Compare with Slakware-current using ezpublish-2.0, using ezhttpbench 
webserver throughput under OBSD is 1500 pages/min. and under slakware is 
4500 pages/min.

I use mysql as db and qmail/vmailmgr as mail system.
My SCSI disk sync. at 40 MHz, but under Slackware 160 MHz.
