Ubuntu on a Pentium 200MMX ? Is that true ? Really really true ?!!

Does Gnome work ? Is it useable for basic things like e-mail and
Epiphany ?

I had an Intel 200MMX board (AN430TX), loved it but had to get an AMD
Athlon board to get Win XP to work (that was over 2  years ago, long
before I knew about Linux !).
I would be thrilled if I could re-use my old board and get Ubuntu on
it !!!

It had 160MB (32+128) Megabytes of RAM, will that suffice (how much RAM
has your laptop ?) or should I hunt for an extra 128MB RAM module ?

Regards,


Vince, excited...
