Please read my comments more carefully. I'm not suggesting everyone
has identical hardware for this purpose. This is a TEST system, not a
FAILOVER/REPLACEMENT production system. It does not need identical
hardware; it only needs a minimum of hardware capable of running the
applications being tested. Based on the OP's description, I imagine a
used PC in the Pentium-II range would be more than capable.
Oh, and yes, a 200Mhz PC would suffice for his purposes. As far as I
can tell, we're not talking about stress-testing the applications. He
simply wants to ensure that his data and applications will transition
from older to newer versions. Yes, stress-testing is very important,
but is beyond the scope of this thread. If he can't afford a spare
set of identical hardware, it's going to be impossible to stress-test
properly anyways.

Thanks Jason. I have a messy setup in RH 7.3 with ColdFusion, apache,
MySQL, PHP and stuff which took ages to set up and I haven't been game
to touch it since. I didn't realise there was any point in setting up a
play version on a leftover PC.
I'll give it a go shortly.
Thanks again
