<h2>The Machine</h2>
<img src="../gifs/powerlogo.gif" alt="" align="right"> <p>The
machine <tt>www.FreeBSD.org</tt>, otherwise known as
<tt>freefall.FreeBSD.org</tt>, is 800MHz Pentium III set up with
1024 megabytes of RAM and about 50 gigabytes of disk space. The
mail duties for the domain are handled by <tt>hub.FreeBSD.org</tt>,
a 400 MHz Pentium II with 256 megabytes RAM and about 16 gigabytes
disk space.</p>
<p>
Naturally, these systems all run FreeBSD. The hardware and network
connection have been generously provided by <a
