zfire89 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I wanted to know what would be a good server os for this pc AMD Athlon 900 thunderbird core, VIA kt266a chipset, 512mb of ddr ram. I was thinking Darwin but i dont know if it would have all the drivers. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8161-a-good-server-os/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVENGE Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 just grab a copy of Fedora Core 4. Or if you want something lighter, try ubuntu or vector linux.

DrJägermeister Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 do you think darwin would work well I don't remember exactly but I'm thinking Darwin for x86 needs a SSE2 cpu (If I'm wrong correct me please) so it will not work with your Athlon900. If you prefer Unix until Linux take a look at OpenBSD, it's very secure.
