I confess, I run my home webserver with Debian GNU/Linux 4 (Etch) and 20 MB Ram and a 486SX which is 18 years old. Check it at: <http://ulihansen.kicks-ass.net/sysinfo/index.htm> As long as you don't run X and you do build an own small kernel, the OS, Apache 2 and some services like smb and ssh work fine on such an old plastic brick. As the install process is really slow, I normally install Linux by plugging the harddisk into another machine, install the OS there, compile the kernel and put it back into the old machine. It still takes some time (and some tricks) to do it. Of course FreeDOS works great on the machine too (and is much! faster up and running). I am using it for occasional maintenance of the server and, of course, for fun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
