My Redhat8.0 Server is an old Compaq Presario 5660. It has a PentiumII 450MHz processor, 192MB RAM, and a 12GB hard drive. I added a Linksys LNE100TX network card, adn swapped tghe original DVD-ROM drive for a standard CD-ROM. This machine is my production server which I to host my website, email, etc., and is more than powerful enough to handle the load I throw at it. I have also used it as a file server, ftp, ssh, dns, and dhcp without any trouble at all. And while it is my "business" server, it also happens to be in my home.
Also, having said all of that, for quite a while, I was accomplishing all of those same tasks with a 200MHz Pentium with 96MB RAM and a 4GB hard drive.
