I benchmarked apache2 recently
And it ran out of memory
Did 10,000 tests

M. Tibbits
the processes labelled /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4 are terminals

To put it in perspective, my Ubuntu desktop is running with 8 terminals, Chrome (which is 10) and a full-fledged window manager, and it's pushing 100 if I'm trying to push it.

M. Tibbits
What are the hardware specs?
alexy13
alexy13
My website won't be very active.
Hardware specs...
M. Tibbits
M. Tibbits
Yep. I'm currently running KUbuntu with 200 processes.

M. Tibbits
M. Tibbits
multicore CPU?
how much ram?
alexy13
alexy13
17:14
No
jrg
jrg
Also, your machine is a G4 PowerPC - which is somewhat old. (I think it'll probably have around what, 1GB ram max?)
alexy13
alexy13
832mb
M. Tibbits
M. Tibbits
missed that @jrg.
alexy13
alexy13
Yeah
M. Tibbits
M. Tibbits
yeah. Probably why with such a load you ran out of memory
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
17:14

jrg
jrg
Alright, so as far as I can tell, you're about where you should be. :)

M. Tibbits
@jrg, are the mouseemu processes normal?
Rinzwind
Rinzwind

alexy13
alexy13

I can't Rinzwind because my system freeezes
And any command I execute just doesn't do anything.
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
"Mouseemu is a daemon to emulate mouse buttons on trackpads with only one button. It lets you: - emulate middle and right click - emulate mouse wheel -"
M. Tibbits
M. Tibbits
ahhh. Missed that.
alexy13
alexy13
I don't have a mouse!
So what good is that running then...
jrg
jrg
I don't think mouseemu is normal...
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
it says "trackpad" not mouse ;)
alexy13
alexy13
17:17
I don't have a trackpad either :p
Rinzwind
Rinzwind

jrg
jrg
It's a G4 - it's a tower. So it doesn't have a trackpad anyway @Rinzwind. used to be a Mac powah user

alexy13
alexy13
I have a local ip, how can I attach it to a public ip?
@MTibbits Good answers!
Bye!
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
I usually do that with a virtual host in apache
oh 1 more comment: does it have to be apache? lighthttpd should require less resources :)
might be just what gets your system from freezing
