The new main has 8 core with 32 GB RAM with 3 wired NICs and 1 USB wireless. The main host does nothing except for IMs and watching my weekly animes. I have 1 VM using 1 core and 2 GB RAM for NAT, routing, firewall, and wireless AP. I have several other VMs doing for various tasks such as development testing of various platforms. Currently the main host is Windows server but I'm in the progress to migrating to Linux or FreeBSD, depending how well KVM or VirtualBox performs comparing to VMWare that's currently running with Windows. BTW, I stopped using consumer router a long time ago because of a lot of hack attempts against me (or rather my router) that would require me to reset or cycle its power like every other day. I didn't even know so many attempts existed until I started using FreeBSD's PF. :) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
