Hi Wayne,
It should work, but I might beef up the RAM just a bit, and load a more recent
version of a linux distribution. My home network consists of a dual 50MHz Sun
Sparc 20 with 128 MB RAM, and loaded with SuSE 7.3. It acts as my firewall
between the internet and my home LAN. My second box is a dual Pentium 233 MHz
with 192 MB RAM and loaded with SuSE 8.1. It's acting as my web/mail/database
server as well as a web based mail server.
