Hi, i am thinking of installing Icecast to some old pc of mine. The pc is a pentium mmx at 166 with memory of 32 MB. Is this ok with icecast? If the answer is yes then could anyone recommend some distro that would be fine to install to this system in order to have icecast? I was thinking of fluxbuntu.
