I ran a 386/25 with 8 meg of ram as my web server for years. I don't still have usage charts from that far back, so I can't say what it was handling. I didn't, of course, run X on it! I believe that Slackware was the first distribution I ran on that box, in fact. (Before I got a web server up, I converted my BBS to running under Linux, and that worked very well for a while.) -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / dd-b at dd-b.net SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/
