Doh! :) Looks like I missed that bit!

Wow - 1GB of RAM in an old 550 MHz Xeon box. I've just given one of these 
away too - only had 256MB of RAM though!

Actually, I reckon it'll work just fine though - I do all my testing on a 
very old 550MHz VIA system, and have production boxes on 500MHz Geode 
boxes, so make sure the distro is as lean as possible and off you go...
