mucking around
hey everyone,
i've got an old celeron 533 gathering dust, and was wondering if i could turn it into a server? (i'm bored...)
i think its got 320Mb ram, 8Gb hard drive, and a 100mbps network card.
how would i go about making it a server? do i need a particular operating system?
if it helps, the current hardware in the house is this:
sattelite broadband modem, printer, and 3 computers (2 XP, and 1 vista) connected to an 8port switch.

From what I read DSL (Damn Small Linux) might be a good choice.
Or try Debian or Slackware. You may need to go command line only because of memory and hard drive sizes.
Be sure to format a swap area big enough to do what serving you want.
Good luck! Your mileage may vary.
