server Q

[TheAvenger]

On a cable modem could I run this 75mhz p1 as a server? how to go about? What would I serve?

Sure

Install linux and serve whatever you want!

 

[Paulson]

Linux would have to do

I don't see how win2k would even consider installing

It all depends on what kind of server you're talking about.

I don't know what to serve...

That would work ok as a web server. IIRC, this guy runs The Krib on a 486 with a DSL line. I'm getting ready to set up my old P100 as a file server, so you can basically serve anything you want with it.

Well, make sure you something to serve first. But your machine should be just fine as a server. I have an AMD 486-1333 (around p75) as a webserver and it runs fine. Heck, my main server is a Cyrix machine.

BTW, the guy on The Krib, an aquarium site, uses Linux on his 486 server, not NT. Read about his story here.
