I’m trying to get some ideas of what is out there that can be done. I feel like I’ve been doing it for sometime, don’t really know what homelab is or encompasses, and want to know more.

So what got you started and what’s your favorite homelab project? Anything you’ve done or want to do?

    Hah, pretty much the same for me. Pentium 200 MHz but with 48MB RAM, Debian 2.2 „Potato“ but upgraded to Woody soon. LAMP, FTP, Samba. Hosted my own website and a friend’s PHP project, some sort of newsletter management software iirc. Another Pentium machine got repurposed into a router running off a single floppy disk with the fli4l project. No disk drive, fanless, yet rock stable. I still have a screenshot of it reaching 1y uptime. This stuff really got me into IT. Good times.
