After 5 years, I'm finally getting a server again

Ok, so it's not a real server but based on my research, it should be enough to meed my modest needs for a home lab setup. Back in the day, I had my gaming rig dual- and triple-booted with Windows and a flavor or two of Linux but I also had this old Pentium III eMachines PC with Win2k and 256Mb of RAM. My step-brother was getting rid of it so I took it. I added a PCI NIC I had laying around, installed Debian and that was my server. I setup DHCP3 and Apache on that machine and it was running for months. I had a "Hello World" site with DynDNS setup and somehow Comcast found it.It didn't take long to get a C&D letter. I should've learned HTML and did something with it but I never made it that far.
