I've tried a couple of places with SO being served to a slower box, but
without a 100meg nic it takes over a minute to load up... I think it's a
good idea if you have limited disk space but otherwise it would work
better installed on the box. I have it running on a p166 with 96meg RAM
and, as Jamie mentioned, after it loads it runs ok (5.2 seems more
sluggish than 5.1a haven't tried OpenOffice yet next install maybe -
after I bash my head in with woody) I tried it with 32 meg ... forget it -
64 meg
is "livable" - don't start netscape though (I use Mozilla nightlies and
Konqueror).
