Debian on an old Dell Inspiron 3500 Celeron laptop

I've enjoyed Debian for years. I've run Debian on a ~10 year old Dell Dimension XPS T450 desktop which now hosts my playground/personal domain as well. I've just finished burning a fresh netinst CD and I can't wait to see Debian revive this crusty laptop. My hope is to make it my database server. I wonder how smooth the transition will be for gallery, wordpress, phpmyadmin and tomcat to look to this new old box for mysql connections. Like I said, I can't wait. :)
