Requirements
I have a server with Apache, Windows 98SE, and a FTP client. The server is 150mhz with 16mb ram....Do you think I can run MySQL smoothly and atleast kind of quickly? I currently use SQLite, and I am wondering if it is time to switch from SQLite to MySQL, or stay with MySQL.
I have an old 200Mhz laptop with 16MB ram running win98, Apache 1.3, PHP4 and mySQL 3.23 and it actually works reasonably well.
I've never used SQLite so I couldn't offer any comparisons on that part.
I've also just put together a little automatic setup app which installs and configures Apache 1.3.20, PHP 4.3.4 and mySQL 3.23.58 with the option to install and configure phpMyAdmin 2.5.5-pl1 in a win32 enviroment. If this interests you give me a shout as I'm looking to test it on a few different boxes and I'm also looking for feedback as to ease of use. So far I have tested the app on win98 and win2K and seems to do exactly what it says on the tin.

Straterra, don't wonder if it is time to switch... switch! To Linux. And don't waste processor and memory resources with the whole GUI.
Pyrite, that's great! I also have an ancient Pentium 95 with 16 megs powered by Debian 3.0 woody, running MySQL/PostgreSQL/Apache1.3.x/FTP/SSH/SAMBA very great. It is on the ground under my very foot with only power and lan cables pluged in.
The only thing that makes me a bit bored is the fact that Apache is killed every morning around 7:30. It seems to being killed because lack of RAM but I belive a new kernel should solve the problem. I compiled a new one but I'm getting kernel panic and still don't know what is the cause... Anyways, I kinda like it when things are not working smoothly

*not trying to hijack this thread*
On this same note, I am reminded I have a 700mhz sitting at the hacienda and need to know what distro would be best for a complete and totalk Linux newbie to learn on? I downloaded and burned Fedora and I believe Debian but I would be willing to try anything.
