[A] 486 based system will simply not have enough
physical memory
available [...] while serving up pages via Apache.
Perhaps, if you insist on
running apache. [...]
With Apache the gold standard when it comes to public facing
web
servers, and with constantly changing links and the need for reducing
support emails, who in their right mind /doesn't/ use Apache along
with stuff such as mod_rewrite these days?
Perhaps I'm just not in my right mind, then - I use bozohttpd. I
wouldn't go _near_ apache; it includes far too much stuff I have no
need for and therefore do not want in my exposed attack surface.
I found 32M
plenty usable for NetBSD until I pushed one machine to
4.0.1 [...]. At 64M there was no problem.
Which i486 boards are you aware of that
support 64MB of cachable ram?
Oh, this wasn't a 486. I don't recall what it was. Probably somewhere
in the PII or PIII range; I think I can find the machine and check if
anyone cares.
