Hi Everybody,
If my request is off topic, please accept my apologize.
I am new to Web server and is now preparing to assemble a machine at
moderate cost running on Linux, to serve a small community at start
estimated about 80-100 people.
I shall be much appreciated to receive some advice on its configuration as
follows;
1) Motherboard
- Single CPU or Dual?
- Whether with build-in scsi or plug-in scsi card is preferred and its
manufacturer. The latter will be flexible.
- some people told me that ATA 66 also runs fast. It may serve my purpose
at lower cost. Is this comment established?
2) CPU
- Use Pt II or Pt III, Celeron or AMD K6-2, K6-3 or K7 and its clock speed
3) Hard disc
- Ultra-wide scsi or scsi-2, capacity, cache memory/buffer and its speed,
rpm
- Can the same hard disc be used to keep login diary or an additional hard
disc working as slave is necessary.
4) Connection to Internet
- T1 or T3 and speed.
- During testing period prior to leasing a line whether telephone line can
be used for testing
5) Can also a Web Server be used as ISP (Mail) server
6) Any recommendation on software:
- Apache or any others
- Is box available on market
7) Any recommendation on RAID and its utils
Thanks in advance
B.R.
