I wanted to host my own website cuz i dont like paying 5$ per month to have it hosted.. So then i got this advertisment at school for an old p1 450Mhz "msn-computer", which was 50euro's So i was like.. 50/5=10months and i will have payed less AND have another funo computer. So then i went to pick it up and got a 150$ p3 1Ghz computer cuz i couldnt controll myself. And iam actually happy with the decision cuz now i also host project of my friends.
I also wanted to mess around w. linux. So i got a lot of terminal experience from setting up the server. And now i switched my desktop to run ubuntu, but iam looking at switching to SuSe 10.1 when it comes out. I WANT GLX, or whatever its called. And i still need to get my ati-card to have accelarted 3D graphics so i can play counterstrike. Which i managed to run via wine but it freezes for 20seconds cuz of the stupid drivers.
Btw the proxy thing.. just kill it off? i mean like u said its a server killer so why keep it?
