Yep, same reason. When I moved to a real hosting provider, it sounded like a good time to upgrade to WordPress. MT also introduced an ugly licence so that also put me off.

The only reason I’m running old MT is because I used to host my blog on a AMD Duron 650Mhz box with 384Mb RAM when I started blogging.

I’ve migrated to WordPress (and to a hosting provider) since writing the above post. I did a quick Google Search and after skipping the first few hits , found Jacques Marneweck’s Blog. He seems to be fairly clued up, and might be able to help out better than I can.

Nurm I am looking for someone in South Africa that can do some ad hoc MT programming for me. Do you do this or can u refer me to someone?

tks

I’m running Wordpress on a P200 with 64 megs of ram – on an openBSD box that handles my mail as well.

I’d like to be serving static pages, but the 1.5 seconds that it takes to render my page is pretty reasonable. I’ve got an older version of wordpress running a blog for a friend on the same box, as well as several B2 blogs, and the speed improvements are pretty steady and noticable.

You might be surprised what that 166 can do though.
