You shouldn't have any proplem installing on a Qube2 (I didn't)... just
follow the instructions int eh READEME.php3+mysql file.

It should run with those hardware specs, however, you're not going to want
to much serious stuff with it--MySQL likes to have a fair amount of memory
to do anything serious with.
