You shouldn't have any problem with the hardware unless the web server
starts getting very busy serving pages. While moving two SGI Indy computers
to a new building, I once set up a temporary machine to take over as web
server, SMTP/POP mail server, and mailing list using a 486DX2-66MHz machine
that had a 100Meg hard drive and only 8Meg of RAM. Needless to say it
wasn't running X (didn't need to). That was back in RedHat 4.2 days. Just
goes to show how much you can do with even older hardware.
Cheers!
