I was very bored and bought a very cheap server for dev purposes. In this istance, dev means - My mess box and test box before doing anything to main servers :D

Its a P2 300MHz, 64MB Ram - Basic spec'd etc - very low end.

Well now, what software am I going to load onto this ting?

Well,

Apache 1.3.19
PHP 4.0.5
MySQL
JSP
The IRC Server Freddie put on his server


Can anyone suggest any more?

Good to know someone else did this. Heck, I actually went out on our forums and just asked for old pieces and parts of computers with 32-64 MB, P166 or so, HD, etc. I had someone send me a whole case with HD, MB, RAM, etc.! All I paid was shipping on it!

I'm actually installing mysql-3.22 as we speak on it (gotta start there since that's where our production server is). I figure I'll try an upgrade here locally before doing it live. :)
