rockhandleAnyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol
I thought about it, but the additional display, made me think about power saving, how to shut off screen, while keeping the headless service loaded? ... premature optimization?
In Linux it is possible to turn the screen off after a timeout and keep the system on with the lid closed.
Exactly, and what other OS to use for old device turned server than Linux?
You can use windows 7 or windows AME but not sure it's a good idea tho. What's wrong with using Linux?
I meant it as rhetorical question with obvious answer.
