I have just recently installed Debian on a P II 266MHz PC at work that was very nearly sent to the skip. Early days but I am very happy with it so far especially the package management.
The team are unhappy with the current Version Control software - TeamSource bundled with Borland C++ Builder (they had nothing before I arrived!). So I am hoping to trial Subversion and have another go at OSS advocacy ;-) This is possibly a little ambitious on the doddery PC I am using but beggars can't be choosers.
To be honest, as long as you are not working with a massive repository, and the venerable PII is just acting as a server, I don't think you will hit any serious speed issues - Young Jen would be able to fill you in with all the gory details of svn and M$ users <duck mode=ON>.
