Hi Bobby,

I too have setup a Linux server (web / news / email etc...) for non
profit org. (TAFE Baulkham Hills). The hardware you have is OK,
I would strongly suggest investing in memory first, 64Mb is a minimum
in my estimation - given what you want to do, then modem speed 28.8Kb
nothing less.  I suggest you also setup "Squid" the web page caching
system to minimise web page retrieval. Squid works fantasic.

Thats my 2 cents worth,
Best of luck and happy linuxing,
Grahame.
