I think it's a good idea but you might consider upgrading the laptop. I bought a 486sx 33Mhz for ~ $30US (200M HDD) a year ago and ran djgpp on it for a long time (I was on the road a lot). Eventually I installed a 16MB card, 2.1GB HDD, an ethernet card and linux and now it's my (test) LDAP Server.
