For the record the server is a dual P133 with 96MB Ram (256K cable modem connection) http://www.boktek.com/sysinfo more details. Note: the above server is quite heavily loaded, it runs all of the following services: qmail (smtp/pop3), courier imap, apache, mysqld, freeswan ipsec vpn, netfilter/iptables, samba(with pdc & wins roles), dual homed dns(caching & authorative for domain), squid, dansguardian, sshd, ntpd and a few other odds and sods (e.g. dhcp for testing purposes). No room for X with that lot :-) ) [ It also seems to attract the occasional cracker/hacker :-) ]
BTW: The above 'toy' server (yes it's mostly for fun) was my first real attempt at using linux; I don't tend to bother with linux on the desktop much (apart from the occasional excursion to try things out) . > >Any other ideas? > >
