Again, the only nasty problem I see here is the amount of memory.  There 
were a lot of other good suggestions made about how to configure the 
server, but adding memory is almost a requirement regardless of what 
else you do.  If you don't, the performance is going to be rather bad.  
With 512mb-1gb of RAM, the system above should be just fine for your 
intended purpose (although it could benefit from more disk space too).
