Thank you all for your replies. I am going to start working through all
of the options suggested over the next couple of days. I hadn't
realised that there were so many options available.
The SlimCD approach looks very interesting. I definitely need to have a
closer look at it.

second-hand and can highly recommend it. A great cheap alternative!
Its run headless, and use VNC when necessary for updates, etc.

which is only 512mb.
