I want it as a server; not planning on running X or sound or anything on
it. I want it to sit there and run
postfix/amavis/ClamAV/apache/samba/sshd/etc.

That's true, but you still want to be sure that your NIC works for that. 
 If let's say the Lindows computer has a propietary driver for the 
NIC, or said NIC isn't normally supported by Linux, it might be 
problematic. I would laugh, but I can recall a certain laptop's NIC 
which indicated under lspci that it was one thing but actually only 
functioned as an rtl8139.
