Might I suggest using a more powerful system to compile the applications for 
her system in a chroot, then you would only need to transfer the binaries 
from your chrooted environment.  Without all the source code and the need to 
compile, your mother's system should be fine.  I believe we still have the 
requirement of 1GB of RAM (ie: memory + swap space), at least for some of the 
larger spells for sure.

Just a thought!
