NetBSD and Lighttpd help put three 200 MHz PCs put to good use

At the pub last night, a friend of mine who also does some IT work was telling me of how he rescued three old 200 MHz PCs with the help of NetBSD. He set up Lighttpd, and within a couple of hours they’d been integrated into the network and were serving images.
