i need a small linux distribution that can run:
- MySQL 3.23.58
- Apache 1.3.28
- PHP 4.3.3
- Has support for SMP (2 proccessors)
i will need this for developing. I have no need for an xserver or anything like that, just the command line.
i have tried the following distros:
- Slackware 4.0 (Tiny Linux)
- Slackware 8.0
- Slackware 8.1 (VectorLinux 3.2)
- SuSE Linux 6.1
- SuSE Linux 6.3
- Redhat Linux 7.0
- Redhat Linux 8.1 (Peanut Linux)
and none of these fill my needs..they are either too outdated for the software i want to run, or do not support SMP without compling a new kernel.
i am a newbie to linux and i only no how to compile the basics...i have been using linux on and off for ova a yr now. when trying to update componants on older linux systems i get stuck in the same paradox where to update one thing u hav to update another and so on...its really confusing me...
my hardware is limited to:
- Dual Proccessor (2x100mhz)
- 32MB of Ram
- 810mb harddrive
i dnt want to use Windows, been there, done that. and i dnt want to b downloading a distro ova 250mb (im on dialup).
is there any infomation for new users like me to build their own custom system with step by step instructions or something? or linux distro that wil fit my needs nicely?
thanks
