Your problem will be the memory, Im running my win2K box (So is Mark) on a
Pentium 233 however I HAD to upgrade the memory to at least 128M for half
decent performance (Engage Linux filter, for impending low spec Linux
configurations  :o)  ). I am however running HomeSeer, IIS 5, Homewatcher,
PHP extensions, MySQL server and a few other things. If you were JUST going
to run ICS on the Win2K box then you might get away with 64M, however as
with anything from Microsoft you can never have too much memory.

Just like to point out I have NOTHING against Linux, in fact quite the
opposite, but My main reason for using Win2K is thats where my skillbase
is,
and most of the software I wanted to run only comes in Win32 flavour.
