I want to by a SCSI drive and controller for one of my older computers so it can act as an ftp server. My understanding is that a slower computer can act as a decent server if you use SCSI since it doesn't require much from the processor. Is that right? Also, are there any minimum requirements? The computer is a Gateway P166 with 32MB of EDO ram. It will boot from an IDE drive, but the files that will be available from the server will all be on the SCSI drive. Sorry this isn't entirely Debian-related, but I use Debian and I want to install Debian on this computer, too. I'm thinking of buying a 9.1GB IBM Ultrastar 18ES and an Adaptec 2940U2W U2W/S host adapter. Thanks in advance for any input. --
