Hi
again,
Well here we go, I just aquired a DEC 433au with 256mb of ram. It doesn't have a hard drive, I have a 20gb ide I was going to put in it. It does have the scsi controller, but I don't have a scsi hard drive for it yet because I don't know how many pins it has. I am planning on putting debian 3 on it. Are there any issues I should be aware of before I start (I get my 433au on Monday). Also, (dumb question) what kind of modems will work in these machines? The only pci modems I have are winmodems, I got them to work in linux on my pc, but will they work in a 433au. I also have a 56k ISA modem, I'm assuming that won't work because it is not pci. I also got ahold of a Digital AS 4000 with dual 400mhz processors and 512mb of ram. I put WniNT on that, but have been thinking of perhaps putting linux on that as well. It is a little overkill for my home server, but I'm having fun. I got it for a steal (under $100) and it works perfectly, and is in good shape. Will debian work on that? I suppose that oughta do it for now, any help would be greatly appreciated.
