Re:Do Apple's make good webservers? (Score 1)

With getting ADSL installed at home, I was looking forward to building an Apple h/w-based network. For the firewall and web server, i had pencilled in running the PPC-port of OpenBSD 3.1 on a B&W G3, the cheapest new-world machine supporting this port.

However, the old apple problem of expensive hardware bit me. On ebay.co.uk, these machines (sans monitor) are going for around 300 pounds. I had to ask myself whether building a purely appple home network was do-able in my budget, i.e. would the kudos balance-out the cost?

In the end i bought a couple of old pentium IIs for around 50 pounds (< US$100).
