I am thinking about making a webserver out of an old computer, how much power is typically needed??? i have never ran one before. Would a 750 AMD Athlon and 256meg ram be ok? i will just use it to mainly allow me to have outside web based access to my network, FTP and hosting pictures and webpages. what would be the best OS and Program to acomplish this? i was thinking Redhat Linux 8.0 but would Novell Netware 5.0 or W2k Server be a better choice? and as far as server software i have always had people say Apache? i know that is what we run on our school network... any more input?
