Back when I hosted Perl (Apache, mod_perl, "LAMP stack") websites for a living our standard server build looked remarkably similar. We hosted websites for hundreds of concurrent users on each one.

- Dual Pentium-II CPUs

- 512 MB RAM

- 100 Mbps wired ethernet

- Red Hat Linux

Mass storage was larger, but not by much, and the flash eMMC is probably faster than the spinning hard disks we used back then.

Yes, it is quite capable. For $10 the stick is amazing compared to how much that setup cost back then.
