I use a 486 with 32MB RAM as a DHCP server (lease time of 4 hours). It's
got RedHat 6.0 or 6.1 on it (don't remember which one, and too lazy to
check). It happily handles well over 1,000 clients.
On the other hand, I need to re-iterate that the hard disk seems WAY too
small for RedHat. Have a look other distro, such as Slackware. No matter
what distro you use I doubt it very much if X can be installed on that
hard disk; even if you could it'd be painfully slow. Text baby,
text... :-)
cheers,
