Is there no harm in trying - its not exactly a safety critical system?

Full-fat Debian (or even the 'lite' variants, or even just normal versions of Apache et al) will take minutes, not seconds, to boot, and even longer to actually serve webpages. This hardware is an awful lot slower than the iPaq, just because it has a way less good memory and backing store system- the PCMCIA slot on iPaq is really pretty fast.
