| Post subject: | Creating a web server thingy on my old "legacy computer" |
Hey, um, im looking into turning my old Wndows 98 with 5gb hard drive (2.5 gb free), 96MB ram,a nd about 400 or 600 megahurtz speed into a webserver for my not-high-load site LettuceandCarrots.com. Ive been looking into getting 98 replaced with a free linux build made for servers. I am looking to find a distro that matches this criteria: [install] Fits on a single 700mb CD Allows the use to have a LAMP system (or variants) Can be connect to my home cable thing and basically hosts a site. Wont totally replace windows (I have some nostalgia I like to play with on there) (I already have a cleared out 2.5 gb partition) MUST have PHP enabled. Not all flashy, no Beryl or anything or screen savers, I just need something to use to host my site. Be able to host a Vent server. Thats pretty much it. I am a freshman in highschool, and as a result, I cant just drop down even 300 dollars for some new-ish computer with better specs, not can I get one of those stacking servers with like 8gb ram and such. My dad is in IT, so he cold be able to help me, but I have experience with computers. Networking is not my thing yet, and I have only had like an hour of linux experience. I hope to replace my WIndows partition on my Macbook with Linux soon. |

I see you took my joke about needing a userbar to make your hate-train official literally then. I actually quite like and respect you. We should have a love train. |

Use PCLinuxOS or Slax Server edition, both are pretty good for what you want to do. Also, would you happen to know anything about ICS? (Internet connection sharing) |

Um, I haven't heard of ICS. In the mean time, are there any bare minimum web server things that can be nstalled with... floppy... Or a direct-to-drive thing that like lets me just install linux straight to my hard drive, like Wubi? |

PCLinuxOS does, that's what my desktop runs on. I'm not sure about the Slax server, though it would be way better for a server. |

floppies dont have enough memory on them to contain the file to include the file/downloader for a web server like the one you want. |
