For about 12 months I ran a linux mail, web and fileserver on a Pentium Pro 200 [yes, 200Mhz... not 2000...] with 192MB memory and a 20GB HDD. Worked fine for me - a bit slow if you sent a big mail mind you.

When I were a lad, t' big mainframe (VAXA) had 6 MB RAM. t' smaller mainframe (VAXB) had 4 MB.

When I were not even a lad,we were programming on a PDP-11 with just 126K of ram. u could get half a dozen people n that quite satisfactrally..well until one of them typed 'make' anyway :-)


When I were a bigger lad and PCs had arrived, t' desktops were 386's and t' server in t' corner were 486.

Do I come here often?
