I know there are other solution, like build on a fast machine and install onto the slow one. I didn't bother because 1) the server is still working while the upgrade is taking it's own sweet time, and more importantly 2) I have no fast machine ;-)
I put x11 into the ignore list in pkgtools.conf, but the recent perl 5.8 upgrade seems to ignore that and build everything anyway.
-cs
p.s. sorry have to resend this cos' "toying" with my postfix canonical settings...

I also have an always-on "headless" server running for like 3 years now without any problem.
I use it for: apache, samba, vpn, postfix (the "usual" server apps).
I think the "key" is to use the minimal (translate: cooler, less power hungry) components.
Mine is P2-400 with 5400 rpm HDDs.
A UPS would be a nice addition.
The ONLY issue I have is it takes a few *days* to do portupgrade -ar ;-) maybe I should just remove all the X stuff.
You really should do this. All your services are configured via text files anyway.
