I use debian both on my brand new athlon as one my old 486 SX 33, where that good old 486 is being used as: gateway (firewall), dns-server, mail-shit, ssh-server, apache-server and ftp-server. All goes fine (pine is mostly slow, but that's because of this mailinglist and me not deleteing messages and me too lazy too figure out procmail) so debian should be a fine choice...
