Have you given up on Clarke Connect? I use ubuntu server 8.10 successfully on an old P2 266Mhz processor (see my signature). I would recommend this if you are running headless - you don't need all the extras provided by a desktop version. You can use Webmin to manage the server. I also use WinSCP over SSH to manage file transfers.
