Thank you for the reply. Yup it starts making sense to me now.... Here 
is the deal so I should be covering most of the reqs:

Server:
PC104 - 266 MHz - 128 MB RAM
running XUbuntu fully installed. Do not need the X so I am running it in 
multiuser mode with no X.
I have a USB webcam (Logitech Messenger or Quickcam, anyway it works 
fine with linux and ekiga at least).

Client:
Pentium PC running Ubuntu...... Minimum reqs for that are well covered....


So, I think I have a bit of "flexibility" on what to use.
