Isn't it everybody's?
I'm only using this machine as a server - httpd, mysql,
openldap, etc.
I guess the slowest machine in the world is going to be faster
than my reasonably fast (4Mb/s) ADSL connection.
Exactly. If you're not going to be hitting Mysql with heavy queries, a
1GHz Celeron sans xorg would probably server you just as well.
