True, but he's talking about Apache, MySQL, and I believe PHP. All together, that could be painful. I think the key thing will be ensuring that the system has enough RAM and to try to keep it from swapping. The one good thing about a 3000/300LX is that it takes 72-pin True Parity RAM. I'd recommend maxing it if at all possible. Pentium Pro servers can be a good source of RAM.
