<h2>The Machine</h2>

    <img src="../gifs/powerlogo.gif" alt="Powered by FreeBSD" align="right"> <p>The
      machine <tt>www.FreeBSD.org</tt> is a dual 600MHz Pentium III set
      up with 1024 megabytes of RAM and about 70 gigabytes of disk space.
      The mail processing duties for the domain are handled by
      <tt>hub.FreeBSD.org</tt>, a quad core 2.2GHz AMD64 system with 3072
      megabytes of RAM and about 400 gigabytes disk space.  Inbound mail
      is buffered by <tt>mx1.FreeBSD.org</tt> and outbound mail relayed via
      <tt>mx2.FreeBSD.org</tt>, both are dual 3.06 GHz Xeon systems with 1024
      megabytes of RAM and 80 gigabytes of disk.</p>

      <p>
      Naturally, these systems all run FreeBSD.  The hardware and network
      connection have been generously provided by <a
      href="http://www.bsdi.com/">BSDi</a>, <a
      href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!</a>, and other <a
      href="../donations/donors.html">contributors</a> to the FreeBSD project.
      </p>

      <p>A complete list of all host names in the FreeBSD.org domain
      is available at the <a href="machines.html">The FreeBSD.org Network</a>
      page.

<h2>The Software</h2>

    <img src="../gifs/light_button.png" alt="lighttpd fly light." align="right"><p>
      These pages are served up by the fast and flexible <a
      href="http://www.lighttpd.net/">lighttpd webserver</a>.  In
      addition, there are a few locally crafted CGI scripts.
      Indexing of these pages and the mailing list archive are
      provided by freewais-sf, a derivative of the CNIDR freewais.</p>

<h2>The Pages</h2>
