Hello All,

I've installed antiX 12 on an old (assembled in 2001) HP BRIO with 566 MHz Celeron and 512 MB RAM. After more than one year I can say that this was (is) my most successful Linux adventure.

The machine is a home server / tinkerer machine running lighttpd and serving a very basic (under construction) personal website on dynamic dns, running vsftpd and receiving temperature data from a modified WRT54GL, running rrdtool and drawing nice graphs from the temperature data, running apcupsd and monitoring the UPS, rsyncd and backing up my windows laptop (not working at the moment), there is samba too, wireless networking, and a hacked-in 8 GB SSD.

I would like to do some (much?) more things and squeeze a few more drops out of this hardware but I will need help to do so.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello (this is my first forum post) and you will soon hear about me and my problems __{{emoticon}}__

Nice! Using old hardware for new things is what antiX is all about!
