Warnings & disclaimers
- Be careful while buying hardware for an old computer. Check the compatibility
with motherboard and with the OS (windows/Linux) before you invest money.
Don't buy latest hi-fi stuff. Go for compatible hardware, which is often cheaper. Also make sure that the hardware you buy is returnable and/or refundable if it doesn't work with your computer.
- Apache exposes your computer to the internet, which might be unsafe. The
internet is unsafe even otherwise, but having a website gives you publicity,
and you're more likely to dig up in a hacker's hitlist. Prepare well for security
