Do you have a network of computers? Sometimes a command-line only box
is useful to test networks. Then there's using a low powered box to run
various low powered services (DNS, DHCP, non-database webserving,
jukebox fileserver, etc.).
I have something even worse than that as a DNS, HTTP, DHCP, NTP, mail,
and central fileserver. Albeit still running a very old version of
Fedora. I've thought about shifting it to CentOS, to avoid using an out
of date server, or repeatedly having to update a server (which can be a
pain).
