Hi Nelson, What do you mean by play with all the web serving tools? For Web applications a model 600-2129 may not work. It only has a 50 Mhz CPU and 22.7 CPW rating. What kind of Web applications are you talking about? Websphere/Servlets/JSP's? CGI? Most Web applications need lots more CPU and memory than traditional work.
