How much RAM does they have? I once had a SparcClassic with 48MB RAM and
running Phorum (a forum software) called the OOM-Killer just too often ;)
However, the base system does not need much: 8464KB of RAM, running exim4 and
sshd (and the usual default stuff like inetd). This is a SS20 but that
shouldn't matter.
CVS should be fine but anything fancy with apache probably needs some RAM.
During installation, you should be very patient ;)
