Can this be done? What OS, server app?

EDIT: WHOOPS! Thought I was posting in OS. MODS, please move to OS forum. Thanks!

Thanks. I think I'll try this first. Never installed Linux before. This should be fun. Always been wanting to.

a p100 with 64mb of ram is more than enough for a small webserver as long as you have the bandwidth

I've had a web server + router + samba (windows sharses of mp3s and videos) all on a machine like that. You would never know. only problem is that my upstream connection isn't fast enough for a real web server.

I've done it on a 486 DX2/66 w/ 16MB RAM. It all depends on what you want to serve, what volume, and how much control.

Just for a basic personal web site with text and some pictures/photo albums. My upstream is about 1.2mbps. Plenty for what I need.

BTW, you can install clarkconnect with php and add a picture gallery module very easily

also, it is easy to install andromeda if you want an mp3 server

I am running my webserver on a Dual Pentium Pro 200 box with 128MB of RAM. The machine is running Redhat 7.2 and has been humming along nicely for almost two years.
