Any of you linux nerds able to recommend me a low resource linux distro capable of running a webserver? I am using a 233 MHZ pentium II processor, so it can't be too complicated. Thanks guys!
[url=http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/]Damn Small Linux[/url] is a good start, if you need a GUI.
However, if you can get used to the command line, and are just going to use the box as a webserver, I'd go for [url=http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server]Ubuntu Server edition[/url], as once you've setup the networking, it's extremely easy to install and configure the webserver software on.
Both distros should (theoretically) support [url=http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html]LAMPP[/url] which is a webserver package with the HTTP server (Apache) with PHP, FTP server, MySQL database server, and a couple other things - it's also really easy to setup and configure.
