I recently got a Debian GNU/Linux box up, and connected to the Internet with my router (In fact, it’s serving this!) Anyways, when I started to put it together from some old spare parts, I was at a loss for what I’d actually do with it. I’ve had Linux boxes set up before but with no router, and therefore no Internet to them, they seemed worthless.
Well, I’ve compiled a list of things I’ve been doing with my Linux box, currently (and uncreatively) named linux.
- Apache serving kevinmarsh.com (with Perl and PHP)
- MySQL database server
- SSHD for remote logins
- MP3 Server (very limited until new hard drive is installed)
- Alert Server (SMS’s cell phone occasionally)
I still have a few more ideas for what I want to do with this thing, but I’m waiting for my new hard drive to implement them.
