Why?

  • It's a hobby.
  • If I can make something run well on this old thing it'll scream on modern hardware.
  • I think its fun that I can have a pretty modern, full featured web server for very small dollars.
  • Some of the things I'm doing here take a good deal of know-how, but the basics are not very tough. The Ubuntu server distribution makes installing a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl) server a single click choice during set up. The Plone Unified installer has worked the first time through the four versions of it that I've had running here.
