One of my first jobs in 1997 was as a network admin, setting up an email, web server and firewall for our 100 person office. Used a 486 DX2/66 with 16MB (not GB!) RAM running RedHat, obviously very minimal without X or GUIs. The Internet line was only 128kb/s, so the CPU was underutilized most of the time.

Hah, much the same here. We were on some sweet Pentium 133s on Debian, and even our blistering fast 4 bonded T-1s weren't enough to make them break a sweat.

I know MHz isn't everything, but a 1.5GHz quad-core ARM is abundantly sufficient for running Wordpress and Django and a PostgreSQL backend with plenty of room to spare.
