RE: How much space needed for a web server install?

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

hm, that reminds me I need to now get gcc off of *my* firewall.  I put it on
there to build some initial stuff, and I forgot to remove it (bad me).
Nowadays I just build on my t-bird, then have the firewall box nfs mount the
build dir and make install from there anyway.  Considering that it's much
faster to compile stuff on a 1267mhz DDR AMD Thunderbird than on a P5-100...

btw, that 1267mhz DDR t-bird (256 megs ram) can compile a kernel in 3 min 40
sec.  that's the combined time for "make bzImage" and "make modules".  might
be faster if I had an ATA/100 disk, but mine's just a lowly ATA/66.

That'll get you a machine that boots and runs daemons.  No compiler, but
for a truly minimal application (like a firewall) you shouldn't have
a compiler on the machine anyway.

*snicker* I can't remember the last time I viewed a manpage on the firewall
box.

Nope.  The only things that are missing are documentation, bsd games, ?roff,
and the compiler.

Neat, huh?
