I have i486DX2-50MHz as slow machine. I use this as main server
(SMTP/POP/SAMBA/NSF/SSH/... and IPMASQ). I keep this machine 24/7.
All other machine get rebooted for several reasons. One Linux is main
WS. I fetchmail external POP account to both SLOW machine and WS with
different intervals. SLOW machine is few times a day too keep my external
POP manageable. WS not only fetchmail from external POP but also from
SLOW machine so I eventually get mail one way or another :)
This set up works nicely with my wife's PC on LAN. Since mail are
cached at local POP server using POP, she has comfortable speed of
access feelings :)
Just my 2 cents.
