Hosting your Website on a Home Machine
I saw a pair of Chromebooks on ShopGoodWill.com going cheap and I bid $17. I won the pair of Chromebooks for $15. $7.50 a piece shows you how little reputation Chromebooks have. The shipping cost me more than the two computers.
Chromebooks OS is built on Linux and there are lots of project pages that let you install a full Linux repo. I am going to try this and then run a LAMP stack similar to how I ran a WAMP stack on my desktop computer. I will then copy over my WWW folder onto the Chromebook and configure it to replace the desktop machine. It will be interesting.
After I get LAMP working on the Chromebook I am going to do the same thing with a Raspberry Pi. I have a feeling that the Pi will run my websites better than the Chromebook.
If I find time to do this I will post the results here.
