Or you can log in remotely using ssh with X-forwarding using something
like:
ssh -XC -l loginname  servername
then invoke your burning application:
k3b

That way your server box doesn't have to handle the graphical
interface or the vnc server, but only a simple ssh server, which is
much easier on resources. Looking at the spec of your proposed server
(550 Mhz/256M) it should be possible to run a desktop and then forward
it with vnc, but if that  doesn't work out, then  the above method
would offer another, somewhat more lightweight option.
