No real problems... as long as you have at least 32 megs of ram and a
gig hard drive (you could do it with less... but), even more if you can
get it. I've got mysql running on a 486 66 no problem. You will notice
it, however. It won't be blazing fast, but definately will be workable
for a testbed. Network them together with coax or twisted pair and a hub,
and you should be set.
