Re: kernel config for large server

["Marco Peereboom" <slash@peereboom.us>]

Don't worry it'll work fine. If anything you'll need to set up Apache to
handle that load not oBSD.

I used some pretty large 2g+ servers + 100s of Gb's without problems.
It is just anoyning to do an fsck on a really large disk :-)

At home I run a PIII with 1G of mem and 72GB RAID 5 disk. I had no problems
either.
