Brian,
You mentioned e-machines not being supported.. actually I'm writing this
email from a e-machine, running RH80, with apache, and it hosts an
internal network. I've had no problems with it.

mine is a T1120 
1.2 ghz cpu
256mb ram
40gig and a 15gig hd
cdrw

so don't count the cheap machines out.. :)
