A page of mine (Alas! not PmWiki) was slashdotted twice on a machine
that was much more heavily loaded and much less powerful than yours. The
uplink speed was 1.2 Mbit/s.
I had no idea it would be slashdotted, so I was not prepared at all. The
only effect was that the mail server running on the same box slowed down
a bit. I did get some very impressive (to me) activity graphs from the
web server (WebStar on Mac OS9).
The slashdotting peaks lasted about 8 hours.
