I am going to be bullheaded and take an old machine Pentium 166 with 48 Megs of memory and make it work as a home server (samba, cups and ftp as well as maybe a music player). I won't be installing tons of software on it, but I do want to eek our every last ounce of performance from an old beast. Do any of you have general tips, hints or things to avoid in developing such a system? For example, if I want every last ounce of performance should I start with bootstrapping or is that not necessary? Anyone know of a simple low-resource window manager? What media players work well with low resources? What compilation make.conf settings should I try? Thanks to any and all responses! -=-=-=-=-= "Why am I in a handbasket and where am I headed?"
