[Ham-Linux] Running Linux

Thu, 1 Jan 2004 13:33:27 +1100

Jonathan,

I run RH9.2 as a server/web host on an Acer 711TE Laptop 266Mhz with 256Mb
Ram and a 20Gb HDD. Its been running 24/7 for a year now but I am due to
replace it soon. I don't think you should find any problems.

Cheers

Peter VK3EKA

Hello,

Here's the scoop....

I need to run linux on a computer.... here is what I want to do with the
system....

I want to use it as a firewall... it will be connected to DSL 24/7  in
addition to being the firewall, I want to run TNOS (the linux version) for
packet on 2 meters or 440... haven't decided what band to use for what i
need yet.... anyhow that's beside the point....

basically what i need to know is.... can I run RedHat 9.2 (I think is the
latest) with the following system specs

AMD K6-2 400MHz
256MB RAM
20GB Hard Drive

or

Celeron 466
256MB RAM
20GB Hard Drive

am I going to encounter any problems???

what am I lookin at as far as sluggishness, speed wise,or hang ups???

any ideas???

Jonathan
