So I made an image server using Ubuntu 5.10 with Apache 2.0 and WebGallery. http://68.171.90.36:12345/gallery/view_album.php?page=1&set_albumName=Album-1 - url edit- to just view available directories and files, click http://68.171.90.36:12345/ - here -I put the current version of Damn Small Linux in /files/dsl, so if anyone wants to download it, go ahead. Or just get it from damnsmalllinux.org Hopefully the link will work. Here are some shots. The server itself is a 1998 Compaq Deskpro, which I procured for $10 128 Mb RAM P2 300 MHz   -------------  irc.esper.net #paintball |

Your server is better than my server.

I love messing with old PC's. I bought mine at a thrift store. My friend gave me his old HP, which I used for parts, and my other friend might give her old comp. If anything, I can run DSL on it. ------------- irc.esper.net #paintball |

Nice!! Wish I knew how to do that. I have an old comp laying around and could use a free web host. -------------

It's not hard at all. If it sucks a bit less, you could just use a graphical interface. Other than scrolling the a preferences file and changing stuff you want to, Apache on a unix system is just drag and drop. |

edit- once I had Linux installed on the beast, I did everything from my desktop by connection to the server using openssh. So really, you don't even need a monitor, other than for installing the OS. Not too sure how you would do that using windows...maybe with puTTy, or if they make openssh for windows.. I run Ubuntu 6.06 on my dekstop, so I really wouldn't know.

heh, mine's a semi pr0n/DVD/music host. 40GB of whatever on my old 400mhz P2 192MB RAM (ubuntu 5.10) it's still going after a good few months.. i made a thread about it when i finished it I bet yours didn't take 5 hours of frankensteining parts together though. That's the best part. -------------

192MB(3x 64) no no, my ram came from 3 different places, including from a friend's pile of junk. 40GB(2x 10, 20 ) the harddrives came from old comps. keyboard+mouse+monitor came from other people, but i don't really count that. -------------

atta boy edit: weird part is, it was running in GUI mode and all that, then i updated the distro(from hoary to breezy), and now it can't handle GUI, and every time i boot it gives me this big error about X not being able to start.. eh, it's cool though. helped me learn about in text mode. -------------
