RE: [OT] Fanless home mail/web server suitability

Hi,

Just a suggestion - mini-mac ?
Abs silent, 20watts power consumption.

Runs apache (natively) and is currently serving up my tivo.
All the mail aps etc can be installed.

Sorry for OT post, but I believe a few people on list are already doing
what
I've in mind...

Fanless PC (mini-itx ?) to run Windows Server, MS Exchange, and Apache (so
I
can remote access Tivo).  Will be for home use, handling a very light load.

Just looking on linitx.com, and them fanless VIA boards look good - if only
the 600 / 800 / 1000 MHz operating frequency was up to the job?

Not wanting to spark a month long debate, but if processor power would be a
bit stretched for these tasks, is is there an "idiots" build of
linux that
is less processor intensive that would be better suited than a MS solution?

Thanks greatly,
Tony
