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

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

or just buy an uber motherboard/cpu combo like mine :)  I think I paid about
$650 USD for a nice mid-tower case made of actual metal (as opposed to cheap
plastic), a Gigabyte 7DX motherboard with an onboard Soundblaster 128
4-channel audio chip (yes it works with Linux just fine, "modprobe es1371"),
and an ATA/100 controller.  It uses the AMD 761 chipset and a VIA 686B
Southbridge, all of which Linux tends to get along with pretty well.  I got
the 1267MHz 266-FSB Athlon-C chip for it, and 256 megs of PC2100 266MHz DDR
RAM.  all for $650 or thereabouts... not too bad of a deal considering how
unbelievably fast it is.  As usual, getting it all working with Linux was a
lot easier than getting Win98SE to deal with it.. but I finally got both
OSes happy on it.

Gee whiz, I should start outsourcing stuff when I wanna compile kernel or
any big chunk of stuff, so I don't have to order pizza each time I do the
compile.
