I'm going to try installing Astaro on a spare system at home. I'm trying to build a Linux network at home to prove the concept of Application servers with low end PC's (the ones that bussinesses are currently throwing away). I've got several systems and I want to know which will work and how much hardware I really need:
Dual P233, 128MB ram
Celeron 266, 128MB ram
Pentium Pro 200, 80MB ram
I have few hard drives - ranging in size from 1.7GB to 10 GB. How much hard drive space do I need?
I'm going to be running about 12 computers total including 1 Win 2000 box. I've got a Cable modem to the outside world.
There is a difference between stated minimums (Windows 95 could boot with 4MB but no one in their right mind would consider using it at less than 16 when it first came out) and actually usable machines.
Also, how many different kind of NIC's are supported? Is there a list somewhere of what works with what? I've got some 3Com (ISA), DLink (PCI) and IBM (ISA) cards.
Thanks,
