It ran ubuntu-server, so the hardware probably isn't too unusual, just
old. I wouldn't have a problem with someone logging into it, as it would
be dedicated to this project anyway. However, they'd have to outsmart my
ISP. Since I moved out here a few years ago, I haven't been able to SSH
into my own systems from outside.
Your Dell sounds like my current desktop: 32-bit only and works good for
IRC. It's my best computer though (mostly because it has two VGA ports),
so I try not to break it. :)

I still run stuff on a 32-bit only Dell XPS 600, but I mostly use it as
my dedicated IRC box and my first "upgrade->manager -d" candidate. It's
been upgraded in place for each release since 10.04!

I do have a spare system, but it's really old (550MHz, 192MB of RAM,
2GB disk), so not sure if it would even run a >>current version of
Linux.
Thanks,

I used to do this all the time with Public Cloud images... but that's
kinda part of what I did.

Oh, I was thinking of something a bit smaller.
What kind of testing did you have in mind?
