What's the hardware requirements for openSUSE 10.2 in text mode only?
I have a Pentium II 300MHz with 192 MB RAM, which I'm going to use as a web and ftp/nfs/samba server.
Does it have enough horsepower, or should I look for another distro?
Based on my own experience I'd say not, and that you should use Debian 3.1. If you're behind a firewall, etc, you might consider 3.0. Maybe an old version (with security updates) of SuSE would suit, e.g. 9.3. It depends on what version of Apache, PHP, Samba, etc would be adequate.
How many users will be accessing it (per hour, day and minute) ? Will you be serving scripted or static pages? What distribution of file sizes do you foresee it providing? Does it need to integrate with AD? Do you want to attach printers to it?
Also, how big an HDD will you put in it/does it have?
