It will act mainly as a gateway, also as an ftp server (with nfs mounts),
an apache server, and smtp server too.

The problem is that I'm running now NetBSD on my computer and when I ran
some things (two cvs, and compiling a kernel) the system seems to be
highly stressed (load average of about 2.7 only)... The hard disk is
used a lot and that's what happen, but I think FreeBSD handles this
better. Maybe NetBSD does not enable dma? How do I see it?

Thanks.
