I am currently looking into moving a relatively low traffic website and it's associated e-mail addresses onto a spare box that I have sitting around. Currently, I have Dapper Server, but I was wondering if it was worth it to upgrade the server to Fiesty Fawn after it's release. I am planning on rebuilding the server anyway during the summer. The lists below are the specs for the server and what it's going to be running, in theory.

Hardware:
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+
1GB DDR 400 RAM
60 GB ATA/100 Hard disk

Software (planned):
Apache2 (fcgi)
PHP5
MySQL5
Ruby on Rails
ffmpeg (for automatic podcast reformatting)
bind9
postfix
courier
imapd

Thanks for any input!

Feisty only supported for eighteen months after release, Dapper is an LTS release good for five years (from 2006) worth of updates. Sorry, just thought I'd bring that up, a lot of the people I work with always ramble on about that because Red Hat costs so much we can only afford to have one server added to RHN at a time...
