Hi All

I am needing to set up a nameserver and would like to make a minimum
machine that will do the job (costwise).  The only purpose of this machine
is name service for soon to be busy domains (x 2).

P75 or AMD K5-P75 or P90
8mb RAM
850 HD EIDE (gotten cheap already)
NE2000 clone
cheapo graphics adapter

I guess the biggest question is: is 8mb enough?  Only running named

thanks
Chad
