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

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I dont talk to it !

I use it for Homseer, some X10 (be going soon!) and the Comfort Plugin. It
works a treat.

I have the old MiniITX board (about 500mhz celeron power!) with 512mb ram
running Xp with Homeseer.

Works fine.

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
