Marilyn:
Not likely. Mandrake, Red Hat and Suse all require a minimum of 64 mb RAM for
a graphical interface, and somewhat more processor speed than you have. I've
heard of people using 266 mhz processors, but performance is very slow. There
are some specialized test-based Linux distributions that will work with your
system, however. These are typically used to implement dedicated
server/firewalls, for example.
