if you don't need X, a box with a pentium II, 128mb, and a 4 to 6gb disk is plenty to run a basic LAMP setup. of course, it won't be blazing fast and your storage capacity will be limited but enough to get you started.

i have a couple of older laptop lying around that meet those specs, ping me offline if you're interested.

I'm thinking about getting a laptop that would run current versions of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP so I could work on learning those things at a library.

What would be the minimum hardware requirements for that setup to work pretty good -- ie. processor and speed, RAM, hard disk?

Any thoughts or suggestions on the subject would be appreciated, including recommendations of good sources for a used machine.

Thanks,
Matt
