  I recently (within the past year) installed Linux (a bastardized RedHat
5.2 to be precise) on a laptop with almost 4M of RAM and 120M harddrive.
It's a bit sluggish but for what I use it for, it's tollerable.

  And yes, installing it was quite an adventure, requiring me to recompile
the Linux kernel on my base system.
