Definitely. I'm running an X-less, headless AMD K6 500 with 256MB of RAM as a file and web server, with lots of cgi stuff in the web server, and it idles at ~0% cpu. Now, it'll peg like a madman when I start testing cgi web pages, but at idle it should be, well, idle. :-) -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
