Greetings
I have an old Compaq Armada 1500 that i intend to use as P2P and
printer server; maybe http/sql/ftp if i use really lightweight stuff
SQL? Why? What is the goal?
since it only has 32RAM. The thing is, the disk is a 4GB Toshiba and i
wanna get something larger than my 70GB of files.
With that little RAM and disk space, I suggest that you stick with
the console.
Can i get any IDE disk and make a small /boot partition at the
beggining og the drive? Or do i need to fiddle with BIOS limits and
LBAs and a whole bunch of stuff i'm unaware of? From my feeble attemps
at searching stuff i found this limit to be 32GB and that i could ahve
to disable dma in order for ide to work...
Does it have any USB 2.0 ports on it? If so, you could add external
drives to get to the capacity you need.
Any suggestions? What about server software?
Static or dynamic pages?
