[Nottingham] Backup box on a 486...

[David Wolfson]

As we STILL have NO BACKUP of the research group's data, I've now got a scheme afoot to stick a BIG drive in an old 486 and keep it somewhere else.  I've had some advice on whats going to be needed (rsync, ssh, iptables, - cheers roger), but only have RH9 discs to deal with. This is a bit of another 'disto  selection' question, but what do people think would be happy and minimal on a machine of this spec (debian?), and where might a get it?

Cheers,

Dave
