I've struck a deal w/ my brother to get his rev. a imac in exchange for some speakers that I bought off the back of a truck for $200 and I plan on making the iMac a little webserver for myself. A question or two:
1) the iMac currently has 48 MB of RAM, how much do you think I should have installed? I'm thinking of 128MB, but we'll see...
2) okay, begin holy wars: which distro should I use? I like the sound of YDL 2.0 (which is coming out very soon) because it comes w/ MySQL preinstalled... what I want on the machine is Apache, MySQL, PHP, and maybe sendmail...
3) maybe I'm just looking for a little encouragement... you think this is a good idea? http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif any comments are appreciated!
thanks to all.
