A 486DX4100 with 32MB of ram can spit out 2 million emails a day using qmail (http://cr.yp.to). Firewall. 10/100 ethernet switch. (buy a couple of the 4 port intel Etherexpress cards for it and load the linux router project on it) Doorstop. A diskless Xterminal for your coffee table which displays data from your main workstation in your bedroom. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Opp [mailto:cop7586 at hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 4:16 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [TCLUG:23077] Creative uses for old PCs using Linux? What kinds of things can be done using Linux on old PCs, (i.e. 486, Pentium 100, etc)?
