Hi All, Sorry I do not post much, but I do have a question that I would like to ask here...
I have used a mixed network for my own use for years, primarily I always had Linux doing the grunt work for web services & serving, but I also always had windows boxes, the problem is, as the network grows or as I replaced PC's, I always kept the old boxes on the network, needless to say a while ago I started looking for ways to save power & space and reduce heat build up - my work area was like a sauna at one point :) Anyway, to cut to the chase, I still need a box to do authentication and to act as a domain controller, but I would rather use a cheap dislkless device that sleeps when not called upon, does anyone know of a device like this ? or if I must use a PC, is there a CD or say USB key Linux distro that can be cut down to just Samba ? I have a couple of Nettel ne2520 embedded devices if somone wants to hack one to do what I want, they can have the other. Thanks in advance. -- Greg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
