System/Hardware questions

[b0xeruss]

I just bought a
MiniITX mobo
Celeron 2.0gighz (im poor - so while I save for P4 ill use this)
256mb DDR ram


My system will look like the following after puting all the parts together
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.0gighz
mobo: P4SP-MX (Mini-ITX)
hda: 2gig (slow) - root
hdb: 30gig Maxtor (7200rpm) - PUB
eth0: Generic 10/100 Ethernet
OS: Debian (will switch this system to OpenBSD once I figure out how to config it).

It will be running as a DNS-server/Samba/ later I may add Apache and others to make good use of the system`s speed.
It will have sshd running but only accept connections from internal network.


I am wondering if there are any issues with Celeron processors when it comes to stability. I have a 233mhz P1-mmx and It was able to stay online 24/7 for 3 months until I took it down without crashing once. Can I expect this from a celeron? Or is this too much...
Recommendations are also welcome.

Also, if anyone knows of any good OpenBSD tutorial/howto sites please please share them with me.


Thank you.

Nope.
I've had a Celeron box (533MHz, 384MB) up continuously since since early 2000...still running fine as far as I can see.

no problem w/ Celerons..

the are just Pentium 4's w. less cache and a few other perks..

but you will have no problem keeping it up for months at a time
