Jean,

MapServer will definitely run on this configuration.  It is vaguely
possibly you might run into some quirks building some of the recent
versions of libraries that MapServer depends on but that should be
fairly easily dealt with.

You might be a bit wary about security bugs in older versions of Linux
like this though.  Not that I'm specifically aware of any.

Best regards,
