Happy Run Some Old Web Browsers Day!Happy Run Some Old Web Browsers Day!Posted Apr 1, 2008 4:23 UTC (Tue) by set (guest, #4788)Parent article: Happy Run Some Old Web Browsers Day!
I actually recently ran a Netscape web server on a freshly installed Indy2 10k Impact. (Every web server needs a hardware acelerated 3d video card that takes up 3 bus slots, right?) That lasted a month, until I got p0wned. By the power bill. I measured the box dead idle sucking ~350 watts. (cost around $30 for the month) The monitor, one of those 20" trinatron boat anchors wasn't on, which is for the best as it claims to require 330 watts. It's still a fun toy to play with (the monitor comes with its own IR remote control:) but the web server is now a k6-II sucking 1/7 the power.

I think they came with Netscape Navigator 2, Acrobat Reader 2, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Netscape Enterprise Server, plus a pile of other junk. Back in those days it was a useful bundle. It's funny to remember when people actually made commercial software for Unix systems.

While the latter is in decadence, the former is thriving with companies like MySQL or Trolltech, right?
