I want to run apache/php/postgre/mysql on an old PC (not sure of the spec
yet but likely to be at least pentium hopefully) to set up as a server for a
local school to do call logging (issue tracking/helpdesk/CRM or whatever its
called this week). Any suggestions? I want minimal fuss if possible.

Debian, probably unstable branch to get some recent packages. You can install a minimal system easily with only the few packages required, and Debian tends to work well on old systems. You might want to stick with a 2.4 kernel too.
