I'm near Boston, myself.
I have my mail/web/ftp server running on an old PII/166. It does just
fine. It runs SME Server software, plug-and-play, based on an older
version of linux. I think it uses 128KB, maybe 256. I don't remember.
When I moved a while back, it had been running non-stop for 360 days.
I almost brought the whole system over to the new house running on
the UPS just so I could pass the 1 year mark :-)
Gotta love linux...
