Hi, I use CentOS as a firewall/proxy/webserver/fileserver in my small network. As the small-spec machine with CentOS is heavily loaded/used I can't afford downtime. 20 GB, pentium II with only 128 MB RAM. However I want to know the news on 4.5 is it due soon? Can I gain more by running CentOS 3.x range on such an old machine like mine? Will CentOS 5.0 mean you need a minimum of 512 RAM?

...also run it on my wifes discarded Aptiva (486 and 64MB? 32MB?) and my AMD "486 clone", x586 100MHz 36MB. Only difference is speed. Aptiva about 430K chars/sec, AMD about 510K chars/sec. Like Aleksandr, I'm loaded with old used ceapo machines too (386SX anyone?). If you can get a $20 machain (and one for backup?) you would be making a wise investment, IMO, by having a firewall-dedicated node separate from your "server/ws". > > Fred > <snip sig stuff> HTH -- Bill ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 08:37:24 -0500 From: "...
