I'm thinking about investing in a second hand Cobalt cube but was wondering if it could suit my needs or not.

The main use for the server would be for web and mail hosting. This I think it can manage but on the side I also want to run a small game. This will not get too many users (less that 15) and runs on Linux with a mysql server.

I think that my best be would be to build up a PII server of some sort. The problem with this is that although I could get the game server running, I am not an expert with Linux at all so I doubt that I could set up the web hosting, DNS and mail etc.

Would the qube be able to handle the game server which needs a mysql database?

Thanks for any advice

The Qube should be able to run that fine.
