I would not use the graphical interface. It cosumes some ressources
while runnig but it's not needed at all. All you need is ssh.
Configure e.g. pure-ftp with some virtual users via yast and scripts and
samba via webadmin. I ahd running such thing on a Pentium 200mhz /128MB
/250GB SATA. It was ok. The config of pure-ftp is pretty straight forward.
thx
Jan
PS: In order to see yast in ncurses, switch to console (crtl+alt+F1)
login as root and type yast. If you can live with it then don't install
the X-server.
