mention Megan McCormick as the designer of our original website and
link to freebsd.org/old where that design is still visible.

<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 dual 600 MHz Pentium III with 1024
megabytes RAM and about 16 gigabytes disk space. Inbound mail
is buffered via <tt>mx1.FreeBSD.org</tt>, an 800MHz Pentium III with
512 megabytes of ram and 30 gigabytes of disk. Outbound mail is
relayed via <tt>mx2.FreeBSD.org</tt>, an 850MHz Pentium III
with 512 megabytes of ram and 18 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.

is available at the <a href="machines.html">The FreeBSD.org Network</a>
page.

<h2>The Software</h2>
<img src="../gifs/apachepower.gif" alt="Powered by Apache" align="right"><p>
These pages are served up by the versatile and efficient <a

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>
<p>The
<a href="http://www.analog.cx/">Analog</a>
web statistics package is used to provide <a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/statistic/www.html">
these statistics</a> on web server usage.</p>
<h2>The Pages</h2>
<img src="../gifs/lynx.gif" alt="Lynx Friendly logo" align="right">
<p>The original web pages were put together by John Fieber
<a
href="http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jfieber/">&lt;jfieber@FreeBSD.org&gt;
</a> with input from the FreeBSD community and <b>you</b>.
<a
href="http://wolfram.schneider.org">&lt;wosch@FreeBSD.org&gt;</a>
