| Quote (gekkokid @ April 03 2004,23:22) | what about a web server, i plan to connect my old laptop to the web and leave it in my draw sharing latest southpark episodes 
i have a dynamic ip address but know i can find or write my own ip address updater, so it is linked to a domain name of some kind
or a router and network file server thats if ur poor like me and cant afford a decent router |
I had those thoughts, but... My big machine (an XP2200) is already the local web server, and I've already got a router/switch that I'm happy with (it works great, and cost me $20 at Circuit City!).
I truly had no use for this thing, I just bought it cause it was little and cute and my wife said I could
The current plan is indeed to make a local file server. It'll mostly just hold about 6Gb of MP3's and assorted backups of important stuff. I may offload local webserver duties to it, but I'm used to editing my PHP locally and having instant updates (though NFS would solve that). It's also a pretty slow little proc, 999MHz Via proc seems to equate to a ~500MHz AMD K6-2 (which is depressing as hell).
Still, it's a fun little machine. My biggest problem now (since I've decided on what it's function will be) is what kind of case to build to put it in...
