So I actually pondered what my priorities are for Scummbox.org. And I put them in my .plan.
[scummboy@pants scummboy]$ finger scummboy
Login: scummboy Name: Scumm Boy
Directory: /home/scummboy Shell: /bin/bash
On since Tue Apr 15 08:09 (EDT) on pts/0 from god.scummbox.org (messages off)
No mail.
Plan:
scummbox.org priorities:
* Upgrade to new OpenSSH package.
* Check out new Samba (patched security flaw)
* Consider upgrading to Mandrake 9.1 (newer packages)
* MORE STORAGE
This is rapidly becoming a must, though smbmounting files off the 80gb drive in my workstation seems to have fixed a lot of that.
* More RAM
192mb is just sorta sad.
* User Quotas
Definatly a need currently. Hopefully a provider change will alleviate the need for this.
Lesser Things To Ponder:
* Consider installing/configuring Apache
Doesn't make much sense currently... port 80 is blocked by Sympatico
* Consider new provider
This is more for when I move out... Look into a corporate Rogers package
* Get rid of the Linksys Router
It screws with SSH-based communications (proven via Google search by Hellsop). Look into Netgear.
* Ponder Multihoming scummbox and installing routing software on it
This would eliminate the need for a router, period.
So does anyone (that reads that) have any ideas/comments? I need all the help I can get!

You could bring it here, and we could install stuff on the 17" secondary monitor here...

Seriously though, all looks good. A webserver would definitely be nice and I agree with your ram prognosis (I honestly never expected to meet someone running less than my measly 256). As for apache, go for it. I tried it and found it extremely hard to configure (mainly because I am lazy and when I couldn't get php running with it within a couple of tries I decided to just give up and go with Xitami instead). Serves my needs though I am quite sure it wouldn't be able to handle much of a load. Your plans appear promising however, I look forward to the future of Scummbox!
