Another update:

I bought more ram for my laptop. it is maxed out at 80mb.

I even noticed a good increase in sleep because of the extra ram.

I have my PHPBB forum running on it good now, but still having problems with the restore of the DB. Having weird SQL errors... I am working on that though.

Anyways, when I get it fully up and going with the laptop running DSL as my web, email, and DB server I will let you guys know.

Also, I will post from start to finish what I had to do so others can learn from my mistakes and continue on for the quest to run fast web, email, DB servers with old hardware.

I wonder if you could incorporate squirrelmail into your XAMPP install?

Perhaps that is what make it worth while

My Forum running PHPBB, MySQL, PHP

All I have to say is: Why does anyone need a super fast machine to run a website, unless you are getting massive hits a day and have a ton of bandwidth, a low end pentium 1 with Damn Small Linux can handle it. My next test will be running a web server using a 486 and DSL 2.3 TALK TO ME!!! I bet a 486 with 64mb and a 500mb HD will be all I need.

My Compaq 5380 laptop is running as my web server at home now.

System Stats:

Operating System = Damn Small Linux 2.2B
Web server = Apache
Database = MySQL v5.0
Web scripting = PHP v5
= Perl
FTP Server = ProFTP

CPU Model = Compaq 5380 Laptop built in 1995 in docking station(Runs quiet)
CPU speed = P133mhz
RAM = 80mb
Hard drive = 2.1 GB / with Win98 on hda1 taking 700mb, so actually only using 1.4GB with 250mb swap and 400mb
of free space to play with and DB growth
Swap file = 250mb

***********************************************************************

Installing PostFix this weekend to run as my email server. Deleting Win98 partition to make more room. Does the new version of Partition Magic resize Linux partitions using free space, like it did in windows?
Or is there another good partitions resizing program that could help me out. If not, I could take that nuked HDA1 partition and start using it as email inbox space...
