[olug] Uses for a 486 with Linux

[Brian Wiese]

|Hello everyone,
|
|I am curious as to some ideas or things people have tried using a 486
with
|Linux. (besides the usual gateway/server stuff) I got yet another 486
today
|and was feeling adventerous. So anyone have a good suggestion that would
be
|fun to do.

Central syslog server? (for security) Telemetry box (will it have the
horsepower? -I don't know) http://telemetrybox.org/ or similiarly a box
for Netsaint.org, a network based Snort machine... just some of the ideas
I've been playing with. 

the only thing I can recommend is something w/o encryption. :) of course!
yeah, it takes a little _while_ to authenticate my ssh sessions on my 486
obsd machine. ;)
