You said you are using old 603 ppc. So today I went in my old pc repository and I found 3 ppc 603. Yes, they work, and each one has got 96Mb, 500Mb HD, Floppy, but no CDROM. I tried linux on old Pentium 90 with 64Mb RAM without specials pleasures. I tried openBSD too on old PCs... but the reality is that todays applications (as apache+php+mysql) need high CPU performance, high disk access, etc etc. I never tried with ppc, so I would like to put a 6Gb HardDrive (I have to buy it because of old PPC were SCSI only), and test all. In your opinion : is it possible expecting great performance then my tests on Pentiums 90-133Mhz ? Best regards, Miguel Beccari
