If its an internet connection it will be Mb (mega bits) not MB (mega bytes) 8 bits in a byte ergo 8 megabits in a megabyte. :]<br><br>Oh, and your server - whats the power consumption on that thing!?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hey all,<br><br>I've had a machine running as an ad-hoc web/file servery thing across my<br>home internet connection (shared 20Mb Virgin Media stuffs (MB? I always<br>get the upper/lower case B's confused)) and have considered turning the
<br>machine solely over to this after getting my nice shiny new dell laptop.<br><br>If I turned it to this permanantly (as I hope to!) I'd obviously need a<br>bit more info on setting it up re:security and suggested programs (I'd
<br>end up largley running Apache/PHP/mod_mono as I'm considering going into<br>web design and it'd be good practice to get used to as many languages as<br>possible).<br><br>I'd also be considering using it as a mailserver, but have never set one
<br>of these up, ever. So any advice on mail packages and the like would<br>also be much appreciated!!<br><br>The box itself is a 4GHz Hyperthreaded P4 with 1.5gb of RAM and 2*250gb<br>hdd's (it also currently has 2 flatscreens, but it won't need them once
<br>it's been serverised!)<br><br>Thanks very much (as usual) for any info!<br><br>-Matt Daubney<br><br>--<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br><a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk">
