[Nottingham] Backup box on a 486...

[Robert Hart]

CivEng is in the process of setting up a backup-server (with a 1.4
terabyte drive in it). They are using backuppc (see sourceforge) running
on Redhat. Not sure what spec the machine is.

Surely the university could stretch to something a bit more than a 486?

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?
