How powerful does a file/web server have to be?

I have a old box, intel celeron 566mhz, 192mb ram, and want to play about with it as a web/file server.

My aim is to setup a couple of large hdds in there, maybe using a sata card, and use it to backup all my work files. Also want to setup a web server to play about with.

Can anyone see any problems with the power of the machine? Will it be ok, how powerful does it need to be?

Thanks
 
Well should be able to get a windows server 2003 license from work, can blag it as it would help with my job.

If not will go down the linux route, although I have very very little experience of this.
