Pretty much any hardware you want. Obviously you need to have enough
ram, since a swap partition isn't normally used. the NIC needs to
support network booting. Most do now. I'm running on a xp-3200 w/ 512
mb. Works great as a HD fe.

If you mount the root partition from an NFS mount, you can write to is
as usual. There is no change to the system. Everything is configured
the same. You can even build things on there. Your mount points are
jsut network mount points.
