Re: [Trisquel-users] how to choose server hardware?

[dudeski]

Well, just a mailserver should be able to run on basically everything. Now  
making it keep up with spam is of course another matter entirely. =p
GPU doesn't matter at all for a server, normally you'd want it headless and  
just manage via SSH or something.
(Unless there was some kind of server application that could utilize OpenCL  
or whatever.. But somehow I doubt that's relevant for an email server.)

I use an older laptop to do SSH and a Minecraft server, it seems to work just  
fine really. In terms of power consumption I'd recommend enabling the CPU  
frequency scaling and whatever other power saving you can. 90% of the time a  
home server isn't doing much, might as well keep it cool. =p
