[oclug] Debian 2.1 and apache

[B McKee]

Good Morning All
	I decided I want to start running my own webserver.  Strictly personal goof 
around learning stuff.  I'm hoping for 10 hits a month.  My budget for this 
project is less than $50  :-)
I managed to assemble a 486dx66 w/ 20meg of ram and a 2 gig drive.
	I have seen quite a few comments that Debian was a good choice for older 
equiptment and I had a CD from the back of a book I'd bought.  The install 
went pretty well (after I figured out what the heck dselect was telling me).  
I tried doing a few simple things and was impressed with how 'snappy' it 
seemed.  Then I realized - it's running a 2.0 kernel!
	So, (finally,) here is my question.  The only thing I'm going to use this 
box for is Apache with ssh for remote administration.  Maybe someday it will 
be a mail server too, but not anytime soon.  While I expect I will have to 
update both apache and ssh for security reasons, and install a firewall - is 
there any good reason to update the rest of the system?
