FreeBSD stability

Recently I just configured our office PC which is Pentium III with 667Mhz speed. Can it be install with Windows XP or Windows 7 maybe ? :)

I installed with a FreeBSD 7.2 and updated to 7.2-p6 to become one of our greatest firewall (hope so) and running for about :


$ uname -a;uptime;date
FreeBSD firewall.sm.local 7.2-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p6 #2: Tue Jan 26 08:46:49 MYT 2010     root@firewall.sm.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMKERNEL  i386
 2:58AM  up 33 days, 16:26, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Fri Mar  5 02:58:02 MYT 2010

without any failure and need to be restart. For now the box act as our firewall and also our NAT for about 50 people in our office. Before this we are using Dir-300 which i don't it can perform well and customized with what I need to protect my network.

my future needs is to install Ntop for network monitoring..

FreeBSD :- Nginx , PHP-FPM

One of my forum that I managed previously used Apache as a web server. From my observation Apache with PHP suck a lot of memory resources but that doesn't hang up the server. So google around and I found others using Apache as a proxy using reverse proxy. While Nginx serve as front end web server. The result is good! Nginx still using minimum memory usage! impressive :) But that's does not stop me from searching other solution that best for the forum, and I found solution for Nginx with PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager). Before that I've tried with spawn-fcgi but the process had died repeatedly. Not satisfied with that I've tried PHP-FPM ! Now stick with Nginx + PHP-FPM very satisfied! :)
