My dream machine is the cheapest linux server I can
operate!
I presently have a most treasured Pentium 90 with 64MB
of RAM, and 500MB hard disk. It's my internet
gateway, print server, web, ftp server and
X-workstation running netscape, staroffice (remote-x)
and terminal apps via telnet.
I also have another one which is my router and file
and print server in a remote office hooked up and
makes our WAN. It is a 486-66 32MB and 2G hard disk.
I dream linux 'cuz I can run with cheaper hardware
with better reliability.
