I'm using an AMD 386/40 with 16mb of ram and ~500mb disk running RH 4.2 as
an ipmasq server (with cablemodem service), mail server and (little-used)
web server for a 3-4 computer network (number varies as I bring home my
laptop). Load avg. rarely rises above 0.00. I have had occasion to have
5-7 users doing development with vi and gcc at once (busted server at
school) with no problems and excellent responsiveness.

I think your dual-pentium box should be fine...
