hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
well depends on *what kind* of server you plan to run. |
| 4 |
mailservers also store the mails, samba normaly 'serves' something... so |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
i've got a firewall/gateway machine with apache running. |
| 7 |
(with php and most libs php depends on for image-/font-handling, etc) |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
takes 1.7 gb WITH kernel-sources, helper-apps and the portage cache. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
a 4gb drive should be enough for regular web-hosting. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
if you tweak everything down to minimum you'll just run into security |
| 14 |
problems (e.g. disable logs) - yeah i know linux can run from a floppy |
| 15 |
disk ;-) but not gentoo. the ability to compile something from scratch got |
| 16 |
it's price: compilers, tempfiles, caches, etc. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
use variable: all i use in my USE variable for the server mentioned above |
| 20 |
is: "-x -kde -gnome -alsa" (no x, no sound). that's it. |
| 21 |
