Yeah, at work, we have a P-120 with 16 MB of RAM running NT Server 4.0, it
runs IIS 2.0. For some competition, I set up a P-100 with 16 MB RAM. They
are on the same LAN segment, and in fact sit next to each other. The Linux
box is running RedHat 3.0.3 (updated via RPMs to 2.0.19), and Apache 1.1.1.
They have the same set of pages loaded on each. The Linux box runs rings
around the NT machine.
