Linux NewsI was looking to put a P133MHz - 1GB HD - 16MB Ram to use as a web server. I tried looking for a somewhat newwer distro that I could use but all would fail during the install or had requirements that my computer did not meet.

I came across DSL (Damn Small Linux) and was able to get everything up and running. I am even able browse the web and shoot emails.

Here is a very short HOWTO to get apache up and running...

Boot off the damn small Linux CD
Open a terminal and mount your drive ( mount /dev/hda1 ) or whatever it is...
Right click on your workspace and browse for "hard drive install"
I picked the default options
After all is completed, reboot
Using the DSL console, download and install gnu-utils.dsl
Now, download and untar apache
in the apache directory, do..
./configure
then when that is done...
make
(this took a while on myh POS box)
then finally...
make install...

your done..
