P120 as a server?

[camaro]

Can a PI 100MHz(overclocked to 120MHz) with 96MB RAM be used as a server for a ADSL network? It will be running Lunix. Also, will it matter whether the NICs are on PCI or ISA buses? thanks in advance

That will be more than enough for a Linux router. Lots of people use 486's for that. I don't think the isa/pci nic issue will matter much. Also if you want to maximize your performance with it don't run X.

[camaro]

What would you recommend to run on it?

Not running X just means use the command line environment. I use a P75 and P133 with X and they are slow but work find, X just uses resources.

You can always install X but just not start it up.

PCI vs ISA shouldn't matter at aDSL speeds.

That system should be perfectly fine, standalone.
