Well I successfully ran a 8100/80 as a file server running woody up until about a year ago; however, it had 92MB memory. It must be worth trying to add some; I would imagine mac people would have a few sticks as they've upgraded. Why don't you post to debian-powerpc? I seem to recall that sarge needs a minimum of 32Mb; you will also need to use BootX because the machine is 'oldworld'.
