Hehe, my Ubuntu testbed is a 450MHz PIII with 386meg. ;o) Run's pretty nicely,
except it needs a better graphics driver...
....but it's only got like a 2 meg graphics card, so. ;o)
But I'm sure that your box will be fantastic.
Cheers,
Kim.

That machine will fly with any version of linux. The amount of eye candy will
depend on the graphics card.
Personally I use Gnome as my desktop, but KDE is the 'power user' windowing
app, and the one Linus uses so you're already more hip than me. It has more
options and such, but the basics will be obvious from the get go. I think
most people use Konqueror as their 'do everything' app, file browsing, web
browsing, and so on.
Linux geeks sort of pride themselves on just how old and clunky their hardware
is. For years my router/firewall was a Red Hat 6.1 box that was my recycled
first PARIS machine. 400 Mhz Celeron with 128 MB of RAM. These days with
electricity costing what it does having a half dozen doorstop machines lying
about doing small jobs gets pretty expensive on a monthly basis, so we're
all starting to brag about how virtualized we're getting ;-)
If you have any questions, take my initials (i.e. my sig) and stick thadbrown
and then that top level domain calling card of com after it and email me.
That said, I don't think you'll have any problems.
Oh, and all of your config files are in /etc. You'll spend some time there
if you want to tweak . . .

By the way...
....we're talking on Mandrake Linux from about 2001...
....on a PIII 450 with 128 meg...
