Also, I've seen zone use 20 mb of memory under xp. Is this normal behavior? Will zone hog resources like this under linux?
Um.. what ver of Windows? It needs at least NT I believe.. I recommend 2k for a server.
The junk is running 2k.

400 MHZ should run NT or 2k but very very slowly, I got it to run XP before, 150MB ram might work... again I setup a server for web and FTP and stuff using a 300MHZ and 64MB ram.
Actually, I was surprised. It runs decently... until zone tries to load =p

There are sites like www.tigerdirect.com you can go to to buy cheap hardware, the RAM shouldnt be too big a problem but the processor is a major flunk.
I ended up finding a use for it... see my reply to Sotonin.
