Greetings, I have installed Debian 2.1 (at least that is what it said on the disk, IIRC) on a 486SX25/16MB/420HD to act as a Samba/Netatalk print server. I had the easiest time installing and upgrading the packages, thank you Debian pushers. I think I know the upsides to this setup: (1) zero cost hardware, (2) quick and easy software administration (dselect has a 'different' UI (IMO) but it is great if you want to know what you have installed and yes, apt-get is fabulous); but I want to know of the downsides I might not be aware of. Are there any? Has anyone used hardware this slow and upgraded the kernel to a 2.2.x version, and is it the 'win-lose' proposition I expect it is (more modern but slower)? If you have the time, any advice would be appreciated.
