I can't answer your question directly, but I can give you a point in the
ground.
I run a debian (was sarge - just updated to etch) server with two 100Mb
ethernet cards in to act as a router/firewall AND web server, tomcat
applications server, mail server, fileserver, print server, name server, dhcp
server etc etc.
CPU load rarely gets above 3% except when people are accessing the web site
(thats the java machines in topcat). That is with a 1.7Gh Celeron
