Re: low-MHz server

<snip>

Any suggestions for good old boxes like this that will run modern Debian
or OpenBSD and be reasonably reliable?

An Old HP Proliant 800 or something would suit. They are readily available on ebay. I ran one with multiple 200mhz cpus for a year or so, and it never had a hiccup.

Best thing is because of the age, you would be able to pick up several for a cheap price! :)
