As a server (no gui), the machine should be ok, the only thing that 
could be an issue could be the tv-tuner card (last time I used one is 
quite many years ago and back then all Linux users went for a Hauppauge 
tuner as those were always supported).

If you want to use graphical interface, then go for something light like 
Enlightenment or IceWM, this leaves you with more free RAM and do not 
load your CPU as much.
