RE: Server back
-Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Nick Arnett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Verzonden: woensdag 11 december 2002 3:38 Aan: Brin-L@Mccmedia. Com Onderwerp: Server back And since it's a painfully slow machine (a Pentium 266 MHz, I was somewhat surprised to see), and I have a PII motherboard here, I'm thinking I should finally upgrade the darn thing I have an old PC (Pentium 200 MHz, 80 MB RAM) that is dire need of retirement. Once I have a new one, I want to upgrade the old one (new processor, perhaps extra memory) and turn it into a webserver. What would you recommend in terms of processor, memory, operating system and other software? The webserver will be build primarily just to get familiar with setting up such a server, and will otherwise only be used to host my websites, and perhaps for experimenting with running a mailing list on it.

What would you recommend in terms of processor, memory and operating system? That machine as it is will run Linux/Apache quite well unless you're expecting a heavy load. I couldn't say exactly how many concurrent users it would support, but I'd imagine 8-10, comfortably. And that's a fair bit for a personal server. So I'd start with it as-is, watch the peak load levels, then consider upgrading. It's amazing how well a slow machine performs when you abandon Windows and use Linux, especially Linux in text mode.
