I have an iBook with Mac OS X 10.0.4. And a 40 GB HD.
Temporarily I have used it as a webserver, but I think it's shame that I can't use it for something better.
Do anyone of you have ideas for how to put it to use as a server of some kind? Or something.
(Is harware is ok apart from a few minor problems.)
Thanks!

iBook, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
I'm running v10.4.11 on my iBook G4 60GB hard drive.
Why not just run Tiger ?
I have no plans to upgrade the OS.
The CD has started to have problems. And it's no DVD drive...
So I thought that some nice Unix server activity could be better. 🙂

A server on an iBook G4 may be really slow.
I am a bit used to Unix things, but I'm no experienced admin.
So I just thought that I'd find something useful to run on my old IBook.
I think that I have a Developer CD, maybe. But a better idea is if I can download some binaries for whatever.
I then would be thankful for what old software should be interesting, also maybe just for a test. Such as sendmail, although I have no idea what that would give, more than some knowledge. I suspect that would be too complex for me. Earlier I had some Mac SMTP software, I think. Maybe system 9.
But I also do not know how easy it is to lay hands on old binaries. I have searched for other old things on the Internet, that seems hard to get hold of.
Thankful for all ideas!
