Actually,
I'm in a similar situation but because of laptop memory.  (I only have 
16MB RAM available.)

I was planning to use it to play with kerberus 5 as the KDC.

Since it is just a little home network, I'm not worried about physical 
security.  ;-)  e.g. Someone walking away with my kerberus box.
Cheers...
