Dedicated server enough power?
Hello,

We are going to make a database with sqllinks with articles in it.
At the start it will have 1000 articles and it will be growing.

We think a virtual server won't be quick enough at some time (or at the start?), but
we are not sure. We want to make a good start so we think going
to use a dedicated server (low-end?).

Now we have found a solution for a dedicated server (low-end?) and want to know
if it's any good:

Server: Intel P233 (processor)
32MB (memory)
4 Gig (disk space for 1 site, that's more then enough)
5 Gig (Transfer data/month)
ip: 1 (that's enough for 1 site:))
FreeBSD Stable Unix, Red Hat Linux, Apache (httpd), Ftpd, DNS (Named)
Telnet - SSH (encryptie telnet), Pop3 (QPopper), SMTP (sendmail), PHP3
MySQL, WAP, Perl5, SSI, Webmin, Stats.

We think that the processor and memory can be the main problem with sqllinks, but are the above spec. enough power to get sqllinks working without problems?

We can have 1000 links in 1 category, will that be a problem with above server specs?
We are thinking to build 1 database with many different layouts ?

What is the max. connections to mysql (standard 100?) at the same time without getting problems ?

The mysql database is only beeing used in search mode if we build the pages static right?

Allready many thanks.

Regard,

Startpoint.
