Bah. I wouldn't think horsepower were the problem in this case. And I have
to take exception to your excessive system requirements: 150MHz/96MB is
plenty for all but the most hammered of print servers, given enough disk
space.

We ran our Oracle production server on a Pentium 90 with 64MB of RAM for a
year and a half without it falling over. It served over 20 connections a 
minute...
