The memory requirement's a bit of a problem, 256 megs is a more
practical low memory level, but I run slower CPUs than that.

Not here, they don't. Booting up takes mine about 1.5 minutes, and it'd
be quicker if I didn't run a few services. It's about 20 seconds more,
post bootup, to the graphical system is up and running. Again, that'd
be quicker if I hadn't added a few things to the taskbar.
1. 1.5 minutes booting
2. logging in
3. 20 seconds later, I can do what I want in my account

Being a "server" doesn't require any graphical user interface. Gnome or
KDE don't have to be on the system, at all.
