Before I go any further I should try and explain what Debian is.

Debian is the OS Ubuntu is built from.  Without Debian there would be no Ubuntu
as we know it.

Debian is a hugely important part of the Free Software world.  The standard 
bearer for Freedom in software.

Ubuntu is a version of Debian, built to use cutting edge versions of software
and with simplicity for human users in mind.

More about Debian:
http://www.uk.debian.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian

Understanding what Debian is, and why it is the way it is, is essential to 
understanding what Ubuntu is.

It's done by running the installer on the NSLU2 and connecting to it from your
Ubuntu machine over the network.

32MB of RAM is plenty for the tasks you're going to set it.  Without Gnome/Xorg
Ubuntu, an OS Heavyweight only uses about 48MB of RAM on my machine.
