Yes this would complicate things.

However, this would also be a great chance to learn alot. So if you can and want to do it, I say go for it.

Yes.....go for it. You can easily do this with Ubuntu Linux. It is easy to set up, the networking features are easy to use, and it is by far the best Distro I have used....And I have tried a bunch before this one. There is also tons of support for it.

I would personally NOT upgrade the hardware [of an old PC]. Instead, I would upgrade the operating system (OS) to something like Peanut Linux, Small Linux or even Corel Linux. These distributions will make an old Pentium 'sing a new song.' There are several small downloadable versions of the Linux OS that are geared at older and ailing Pentium/486/386 class of computers.
