I think that's a question you, Tom, and/or the rest of the web group can
best answer.  If you feel that Debian would make your job easier (and
there's no objection from others), then lets use Debian.  If a faster CPU
and RAM are needed, lets scrounge those up.

I'm sure I have a ~P166 machine I could let ACLUG use for web development.
If you have a place to host it, and want to run Debian on it, by all means
do so.

I currently have a K63/450 running Debian I could give ACLUG some space on
(but not root access).  That machine may soon be replaced by something
faster, which could make it available soley for ACLUG.

If nothing else, we could ask members for hardware and/or monitary donations
to put together a machine for ACLUG web hosting.
