Geeks.com has refurbished 1U mini rack-mount servers, about 5 years old,
for cheap enough that I want to get one to play with. Two 4-core Xeon
processors (do not support hyperthreading) and either 4GB or 8GB of RAM,
a small hard drive, RAID controller, no sound, and very low-end
integrated graphics.
Is Debian an okay distribution to run on something like that? And which
flavor, AMD64?
Don't ask me what I'm going to actually *do* with it when I get it up
and running, I just want to see if I *can* get it running and stable,
with Linux and maybe a spare XP Pro (32-bit) license I have. Then run
Seti or protein-folding workloads on it until I get bored and move on to
another project :-)
Thanks,
Bob
