I started with a Pentium 1 200mhz with 8MB RAM, running Apache along with PHP4 and Debian Woody. Wrote my own blog on that machine.
Started running more and more services on it, e.g. IRC server, file server, print server, DNS server. Later on, I upgraded my deskop and turned my old AMD K6 300 into my router.
Wish I had blogged about the things I had done on the blog that I wrote back then.
Hah, pretty much the same for me. Pentium 200 MHz but with 48MB RAM, Debian 2.2 „Potato“ but upgraded to Woody soon. LAMP, FTP, Samba. Hosted my own website and a friend’s PHP project, some sort of newsletter management software iirc. Another Pentium machine got repurposed into a router running off a single floppy disk with the fli4l project. No disk drive, fanless, yet rock stable. I still have a screenshot of it reaching 1y uptime. This stuff really got me into IT. Good times.
