What would you use for a very simple file and web server? I have looked at freenas, and it seems to fit the bill quite well, but no web server. Looked at Clear, which seemed unduly complicated and comes with apache, which is probably beyond me. Looked at voyage which promptly froze amid complaints about respawnings as soon as it was started up.

I'd agree that a base debian install will do. I use exactly that on some very small (ARM based) devices. My favourite web server is lighttpd. Very small, very fast and runs well on machines with little memory (as low as 32Meg in the case of my slugs). I don't run NFS so I can't comment there.

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
