	Yeah, it's fine. Problem might be getting hold of hard drive
that fits your back-up needs and motherboard! We have some hard drives
around that can't be easily fitted in the 386/486 we have. A couple of
notes of warning: unless you have loads of memory, don't bother with
X && KDE||GNOME. XFCE is reported to run fine, but over here, we just
use the console. If you are going to have a samba server, consider
mulinux as distro of choice (small hd footprint), or else go for a
minimal installation of either debian or slackware. Remember, too many
daemons summon problems...
