eeepc as server
I have a need (want?) for a personal server. It wouldn't be under much load, just serving some web pages to a very limited number of connections. I don't want to deploy a whole PC to this task, so I was eyeing my 701SD eeepc. It's one of the original ones with the tiny screen and a few gig of old school SSD.
I suppose I could wack a lighter distro like Debian with no desktop and just run it as a headless server. But...
The question is, would there be any pitfalls that you guys could think of? The first that came to mind was any power saving features that might stop it talking to the 'net. I'm guessing I can overcome those. Anything else?
