| Quote (Thulemanden @ July 12 2006,17:12) | | I see the biggest prize being running a low powered machine as a web server (and for email). http://83.92.35.50 later www.opaj.info 233mHz, 2GB, 128mb, Compaq Armada 7770DMT 1997 labtop. |
Funnily enough at work we are running an old PII motherboard of a USB stick as a ruby based testing server, for a total cost of 50 UKP. I've used junk laptops to form temporary internet cafes for various functions too.
Then at home I have a really ancient compaq p100 that runs as (very slow) but useable desktop, so useable in fact that papers to academic journals have been submitted from it. A more upto date laptop, became my main home machine whilst moving house, allowing me to keepp on top of things.
So what am I saying ?
Well to throw my 2c into the hat, I'd welcome DSL bare as it would make life easier at times, but I'd want the full plug in & go system too.
And Xmms I use it every night to stream music from my debian based server to the laptop which is wherever I'm working at the time
