Linux is great.. last year, I had a web page running on my 16 meg 486/66
which got 50,000-300,000 hits a day, plus constantly doing automatic image
manipulation with ImageMagick. It ran at 125+ load average for about 48
hours.. Then I realized that I would actually like to be able to use my
computer, so I killed httpd and moved the page to a different computer.
My computer continued to run perfectly for at least two more weeks before
it was eventually rebooted in order to use MicroSloth Word.

This year, I plan to put the web page back to see what my Dual PPro 200
w/64 megs RAM will do.. :)
