web server

[waynejkruse10]

now that i have broadband, i have been thinking about setting up my own web server with a old secondary computer. The computer ive been looking at is a pentium mmx 166 (oc to 200), 64mb SD RAM, 2gb HDD, CDROM, 10/100 LAN. I could install apache and configure it to run a smallish site, just a webiste with a few html pages ive written in notepad and mabye some small files. The question im asking is that the computer ive said before, is it enough to host a webiste with a few html pages ive written in notepad and mabye some small files

well.. no lol.. regardless it really depends on the load you're going to have from this site.

I would recommend finding a lightweight Linux webserver rather than trying to install a full blown distro...

It will work fine.

It also depends, like Demalii says.

Depending on the OS, I'd say yes. I pretty much had the same thing running only I had a couple of extra mghz...I loaded Fedora Core 1 and I was running a web server. I'd say go for it.

ok, so it looks like linux is the way to go.

You don't need linux. Windows with Apache will work fine and its easier. I've used it myself.
