I have a Pentium 200 MMX with 64 megs of EDO ram. I have a 540 meg ide hard drive. I want to set this up as a good linux box. I tried mandrake, but the install was like 340 megs. what is the most recommended install? I want to run a dedicated counter-strike server as well, and that takes like 150 megs right there. I need as much space as i can keep.. any ideas?
This is a good idea. for someone with a spare box and alot of time on their hands. I imagine you would learn an aweful lot about what each integral part of linux does, and why.
I'm wondering if a PII 266 will work allright to be my firewall, gateway to my cable modem for my lan of 2 computers (so i don't get charged for my 2nd ip addy, plus i'm interested in learning). We play alot of Half Life. will be able to play on the same server? and Just how hard is this to set up from a box with nothing on it..?

that's pretty damn lame guys.... why not just sell computers with big monitors that are easy to use, and have a tv-tuner card? wow, how novel!
I mean as distros there are there... which would be most recommended? I don't have enough time to build my own system outright..
