I'm running Redhat 8.0 on a P166 with 128 RAM without any problems.  Ok it
is a bit slugish but every thing works ok.  There is an article "Building a
lowfat linux desktop" that has some real good hints on solving this too.
Being a newbie to Linux I have to gain more experiance to impliment most of
the hints though , such as Wmice ?? desktop instead of KDE or Gome.
