[Sheflug] Web server specs

["Chris Johnson" <chris [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got an un-optimised kernel, minimum install debian server on a P100 box
with 64MB ram running apache 1.3, php4.x and Mysql (latest).  Does anyone
have any experience as to how many web users will bring a box of this spec
to its knees?  As far as PHP apps/scripts go it's got mambo and IRM
(helpdesk/asset management) on it at the moment.  I'm thinking of adding
Claroline or Dokeos (PHP based) for good measure.  I'm hoping a class of 30
pupils will be able to use Claroline and up to 10 or so other web sessions
at the same time.
