RE: Are these machines up to it?

["Brooks R. Robinson" <brooks.robinson@rides.com>]

| 1: I have a 133MHz pentium, 1Gb disk and 32Mb ram. I want to use this
|    as a firewall.
|
| 2: Also an 400MHz AMD K6-2, 6Gb disk and 80Mb ram. This is to be a
|    name server and an email server
|
| Neither of them will have X on them, so what I need to know is;
|         a: they are not up to the tasks
|         b: they are just up to the tasks
|         c: they are easily up to the tasks
|
| If the answer is a: or b:, what could be done to improve the
| situation. Asking a lot in a single message, but I dont want to start
| then find that they just won't do the job(s)

I think that you will find that both of these machines have more than enough
power for the stated uses; so my answer would be 'c'.
