Excellent articles on the bit-tech.net site for anyone looking to try a
server for the first time. My first effort some 3 years ago involved a
750Mhz Duron CPU, a Jetway board and a 20Gig drive as a headless web
server. I used Slackware to run it and with Webmin running for admin tasks
I found it a great deal of fun. I used the (then) latest versions of
Apache, MySql and PHP and served up my own software and photo's to a mostly
disinterested planet!
Still, it was great fun, and no hosting charges.
