s/old & noisy/newer & quiet/
At work there was a spare desktop-size-but-server-hardware machine which no one was using. *was* using indeed, since it’s now in my kitchen, replacing an old an noisy macine that was my home server until now. It’s damn quiet,even the fridge makes more noise! And the specs are good as wel: p4 2.8 GHz HT, 1 GB ram, 2×80GB SATA.
It’s already running ssh, bind, apache, openvpn, postfix, mpd, apt-cacher and some fresh pbuilder and falcon instances. Now to build a load of feisty packages 
php now thats the test, I would be so jazzed to have that…just lay’n around
Rob? That’s as easy as apt-get install libapach2-mod-php5…. (and probably some extra php5 packages such as php5-mysql)
