It'd be nice, but you can make do with 128 MB. My web/mail VPS is only
allocated 128 MB, but that's enough for Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, qmail,
djbdns, and SpamAssassin.

You said you wanted to use your old machine mainly as a file server. The
Linksys NSLU2 runs Linux, Samba, and a web interface in only 32 MB, IIRC.
Except for the web interface, that's the same software that you would be
running.
