Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
Say... just a wild idea out of the blue... it WOULD be a Bad Idea (tm) to run Apache on my main desktop PC and use it as a web host, wouldn't it? Or have I been misled?

Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
It would be doable, but it is a better idea to have a dedicated PC for any "serious" hosting. You can find an 8 year old PC perfectly capable of functioning as a server for dirt cheap.

Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
Well, I've got an 8 or so year old PC lying around... the only problem is it lacks a NIC, and the only NIC's that seem to be up for sale anymore are PCI, and this box only has ISA slots 
I suppose I could go on ebay or amazon or something and grab an old ISA network card, but I'm a bit wary of that...

Re: OT - Free web hosting recommendations?
Sorry, my network connection sometimes freezes up and I have to reboot the computer... and sometimes when I reboot I forget to take the Debian CD out of the drive, so it just boots into an installer and never actually goes anywhere, and it sits there for a while until I get back to it
