Hey, I know this is technically in the wrong place (should be in webhosting), but since the last post there was from late June, I'm a bit inclined to bend the rules and post it here .
Anyways, I was curious to know if it is possible to set up a small website on an older computer I have. It's not that old (P4 1.5 GHz, 768 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, Radeon 7000 Pro) and I was wondering if I could set it up so it could host a website for my father. It will not be heavily traveled and there will not be a lot of downloadable (if any) content on it. I just need to put some basic information on the web for him (contact information, past/current projects, galleries, etcetera). I've considered a free web hosting deal, but I figured why not try to do it myself so I can design the page myself with some publishing software.
Is this at all possible?
