Hi Peter. Thanks for the answer. I'd like to run FreeBSD in this server. I don't tried any config. I'll buy this server but I need to know if this server supports the amount of users that I have. Yes, this will be a cache for my ISP. The server has gigabit network card. I have a link of 400Mbps. This server can handle this amount of users? 15000 users? About the configuration squid, what do u recommend?

Squid can support millions of users if they don't do anything or as little as 100's of users. What type of traffic do you see going via this box ? "Off the bat" I can tell you now to give up on RAID-5, it's not worth it. What network cards do you have in this machine. If this is a cache for an ISP (guessing by the numbers) you will need gigabit and more. Cheers, Pieter
