Hi Debians! I want to buy a new computer. My old one is a five year old P100.
I want to set up a little debian network: The new server -- the old P100 -- a SUN LX as XTerminal -- a not yet bought notebook -- and a 486 as router for the internet or second X-Terminal for the kids (games!). I will use the new server for LaTeX, Internet, StarOffice and Gimp. I am further working with WML Website Meta Language so I do some kind of compiling nearly every day. The new server shall make a daily backup, burn CDs and serve as print- , fileserver and server for the XTerminal(s). Do you think it is a good idea to use a dual processor board or is it easier to maintain a single processor machine. I need the computer for work. If you recommend a dual processor machine - what board would you suggest? And what components I should use? My hardware-shop sells taylor-made computers, so I can choose the best components. TIA juh -- Eingemachtes von der F.A.Z. http://www.sudelbuch.de/2000/20000727.html
