Any comments? anybody doing this on a machine this slow? The whole Internet was running off machines slower than that not all that many years ago. Scales are different today, of course, but you can definitely run the services on your machine. Just don't expect it to scale to millions of users, or terabytes of downloads. FWIW, I run FreeBSD 4.2 as a FAX/email server off a 40mhz 386 w/20MB RAM, and it works just great.
