I had a Slackware 2.1 distribution of Linux on a 386 with 32 MB RAM and a 103 MB (yes) hard drive. It just barely worked (in fact, I believe I only installed the bare package and perhaps a couple of others).

I hav also had a Pentium 1 133 MHz with 32 MB ram. It worked, again just barely. It took 27 hours to compile KDE version 2.1. Same story, just barely worked.

The one thing I would recommend is a large (in the order of 10GB) hard drive, if you can swap one in. You won't get very far trying to compile programs etc with a small hard drive!
