YES! Not only will your computer run faster, but BeOS will also improve your love life, and give you minty fresh breath!

You lost me... why would someone need to be familiar with disk partitioning to install and configure a webserver?

To be more precise, partitioning a dual-boot setup with another OS requires care if you haven't done it before.
If you're doing a fresh install, then yes, RH or a similar distro will automate the process for you. Does recent versions of FreeBSD? Last time I set a BSD up (e.g., not recently), I had to fdisk myself...

Ah, ok. I thought you were referring to setting up Apache for windows.

You're assuming a P100 mainboard can handle that kind of memory capacity. Most of the original P90/P100 mobos didn't support more than 64MB or maybe 128MB. RAM for such old machines isn't cheap anymore, either -- it's rapidly becoming scarce. |
Yes.. I don't know of any mainboards that officially support that much memory. |
will do the job, up to 512Mb
