It being a charity race I have to live with whatever hardware I can get
my hands on. The server this year was a Celeron 1.8GHz in runlevel 5
with KDE, printing, 2 or 3 apps in use, sometimes a browser for the
weather, all in 500 MB.

I have a very nice HP Proliant server sitting right next to me here.
Unfortunately, it is bespoken :-)
