Back in 2009 I decided to build a home-lab server using an Asus desktop computer with an AMD K6-2 processor. I have no idea why I had such a piece of shit computer laying around, but I wasn't about to throw it away.
It would work just fine for a Linux server... Over the years I migrated the install to which now is an AMD Phenom II processor with 8GB of RAM.
Here are some of the details:
root@storm:~# dumpe2fs $(mount | grep 'on / ' | awk '{print $1}') | grep 'Filesystem created:'
dumpe2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
Filesystem created: Wed Jul 15 15:12:04 2009
root@storm:~# cat /etc/debian_version
8.5
root@storm:~# uname -a
Linux storm.xyz.abc.com 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-1 (2016-03-06) i686 GNU/Linux
root@storm:~#
It's pretty cool to me, and I hope you enjoy it.
EDIT: formatting
EDIT2: didn't clarify enough, I've upgraded the install over the years to the current stable 8.5 version
