I ran an Internet server for some years running RHL 4.2 and a 2.0 kernel in 8 Mbytes. Until its disk died, I was running a perfectly credible server for a small LAN on a Pentium III with 128, maybe 192 Mbytes of RAM. The only time it was short of RAM was when running rsync to back it up, when it used an enormous amount of swap. It was running Debian/Sarge. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
