The Old Way Was Better

[Derik Wilson]

Incorrect.  This was not just a desktop.  It is a web server.  Actually a
test web server.  I was previously running apache, mySQL and PHP servers on
a windows xp box and decided to see how freeBSD would run.  Although it is
not for production, only test, it is still important for it to stay running
24/7 for testing purposes.
