But I have a 550meg hdd and 12meg of ram. and it runs FreeBSD 4.1-Stable. You say you want it to be a print server , ftp , email , and web? Well I ran apache on mine and it was doing all my mail. I would not use a 66mhz box with that little ram as a webserver if it gets a good bit of hits. Or if your are doing ANY php/perl/etc scripts. I did a good bit of php and it was not too great on the speedy side. I also reloaded a page with a good bit of php in it as fast as i could just to see if the box could handle it. Well it got really laged and I had to reboot. The only real way to say 'yes' this will work , is for you to try it.
