I'm planning to build a new box in the next month or two. It'll sit
between my 10Mbit ethernet line and my current machine. I need to use
this (old) one to dual-boot to Win95 sometimes, but I've become dependent
on linux to do email/web/etc., so I'll masquerade the Win95 machine
through the new one with the ethernet hub I bought last month.
Anyway, the new machine needs to be stable and reliable. I'm not
concerned that it be terribly fast -- I want it to be a mailserver,
apache server (for a _very_ low-demand site; around 10 hits a day), NFS
server (so I can share home directories, etc.), and to be able to run X
if neccessary, but I'm not planning to use it as a workstation except
when my current machine's in Win95.
I was thinking Pentium100-166, 64 megs of SDRAM, and SCSI would be a
good way to go -- are there any relatively inexpensive motherboards
with these sorts of reqs that someone might recommend?
Also, I need a fairly cheap XFree86-compat graphics card. Doesn't need
to be fancy or a speed deamon, but I'd like to be able to do 1280x1064
on occaison.
If you have suggestions, I'd be appreciative. Thanks.
Will
