[Xitami] survey: the machine you run xitami on

[Warren 'Llama' Ernst]

I have a little old P133 with about 96 megs of ram and a pair of 2 gig
drives running Win98. This pathetic pizza-box machine built with cast off
parts has been running non-stop for two years with various Linuxes and
Windows before settling on Win98 now. It runs Xitami, PHP, a mail server, an
FTP server, a remote access server, plus it acts as a shared drive for my
lan and a laser printer server. It also used to be my firewall for my LAN
before I got a Linksys DSL Router. I restart it once every 40 days or so
just because it feels good. It runs no foreground applications.

I get no more than 15 unique web page visitors a day, but it deals with
thousands of emails a week no sweat. SOME complicated PHP applications seem
to take too long, but other complicated PHP applications blast through
rather quickly - I need to figure out why that is.

Hope this helps,
Warr
