I have an old Compaq Armada 1500c with 32MB of RAM i want to use as a
webserver. Having it support PHP and mySQL would be fun since i intend
to use both. The same machine has sshd running and might also become a
print-server for a parallel Epson Stylus Color 740 if i can decide on
the print server (apparently either cups or lpd, whichever's lighter).

I haven't fiddled with it a whole lot, it's mostly just on and showing
top through ssh. Right now its memory line is this:
Memory: Real: 7200K/20M act/tot  Free: 3944K  Swap: 0K/66M used/tot
with its most cpu-intensive process being sendmail. I have no
mailserver, what's that for?

So, big servers like Apache are kind of out of the question. From the
package list i found Bozotic, lighttpd, nginx,  p5-HTTP-Server-Simple
and thttpd. Of those, nginx caught my eye and while searching i came
across cherokee-project.com,  Hiawatha (hiawatha.leisink.org) and also
shttpd.sourceforge.net

Is anyone using any of these or a lightweight httpd in general? I
don't mean small as in d116.com/ace/ nor are my resources as low as
d116.com/spud/ but useful input would be welcome. Ya know, the
constructive criticism type.

TIA
