You mean you don't have some spare 486 laying around, or a couple other boxes you could cannibalize? Linux doesn't need much, ya know. You wouldn't even need a monitor or keyboard; just SSH in.

I first cobbled together a Linux box when I wanted to set up a cheap firewall/router, because I got a cable modem and there was no chance in the world I'm gonna let Windows sit connected to a 24/7 big ol' fat pipe to the outside. Even ZoneAlarm can't lock it up tight enough.

And it just ballooned from there.. I got sick of my ISP screwing up my email, so I bought a domain and set up my own email server. Then a web server to share pictures with my family, and FTP server to transfer MP3's to work, etc. etc.
