Hi guys, (and ladies)
Due to demand, I have decided to split my server up into 3 different
machines.
I have 2 x 500MHZ systems and a 166MHZ P1.
I want to use one 500MHZ as a dedicated web server.
The other 500mhz as my mail/virus/spam and IRC server.
That leaves the 166MHZ (an old IBM Machine)

The 166mhz has only 16MB ram (though I will probably upgrade
that to about

so it needs to be pretty lightweight..
Any suggestions guys???
The smallest solution is probably the best.
