Any old x64 PC and a few disks will get you up and running. It's |
| 17 |
open source as much as BSD is open source. It's not Linux |

Mine has a small SSD as the boot drive and then RAID1 pairs |
| 21 |
running OpenZFS for storage. It's inexpensive if you have an |
| 22 |
old computer to build on. |
