I currently run an e-smith server/gateway (http://www.e-smith.org) on a 
PPro 200 with 64 Mb + 2x30 Gb disks in a software RAID mirror. Works 
well mostly (except when rebuilding the RAID mirror - but you expect 
that).

I'm in the process of installing e-smith on a Wizard (but with 128 Mb 
memory - I had an old notebook memory card in the drawer :-)).  Given 
that the PPro 200 shows 398 bogomips and the Wizard slightly more 
(460?) I'm hopeful that the Wizard will perform adequately. If it works 
out I'll probably try it as a gateway using a USB Etthernet adaptor for 
the second interface.
