About requirements for a server

I've looked, and can't seem to find any...

What does it take to run a decent server, hardware-wise?

I would love to run a public server, but I think I'll end up running a private server for my LAN. (I don't think I have the hardware and I KNOW I don't have the bandwidth to support a full use public server.)

Anyone mind shedding some light on this?

I was thinking about running a server on my Linux Box, it's an Athlon 1.4 with 256mb of pc2100ddr.

As far as bandwidth goes, internally we are running gigabit, so that shouldn't be a problem, but I'm on cable, and I just don't see that as being good enough.

Thanks for your time.

I got a 2.8ghz processor, 1ghz RAM, 128mb Gfx card, 120 gig HD, and DSL and cant run a local server :(

I have a packered bell and I can run a local server...

I run a server with a pIII 600 with 500megs or ran so your machine should be fine.

It's not so much in your hardware, it's in how you configure it. it's like that with any server. You could easily run an internet server with that hardware, you'd probably need some others for different zones though.
