Re: [MLUG] Slowest machine

I once had Mandrake 8.0 running on a p-120 24M ram 800M HD laptop. NO GUI.  It ran just fine.

Subject: [MLUG] Slowest machine

What are the slowest machines that you guys have running Linux on?  I'm currently running a Celeron 500Mhz with 256MB RAM with RH9.0 on it.  However, since RH is totally done with the updates, I need to swap it out in favor of Suse or another distro.  The closest machine I have to it is a PII, 250Mhz with 512MB RAM (could expand to 1GB if needed).

 

I am only using the Linux machine as a firewall router setup.  No number crunching.  The machine generally runs in "x", but does do anything there other than troubleshoot internet connections (to make sure the triple redundant firewalls aren't killing aps).  Since it is my firewall, I don't have the time to take the RH machine down and start over on it.  My only option to build it on a spare machine.

 

Any help on how old I can go is appreciated.

 

Best regards,
