I've done it on an Atom-based Shuttle XS-36 with no problems. Biggest issue
is enough RAM but you can get 8GB into the Atom and it works well. The one
I currently have on the desk next to me has an SSD and no fan. Silent. Oh,
and while slow, NMAP works.

That feed on their velocity;
And little whirls have lesser whirls,
And so on to viscosity.”
