Here you can find the minimum requirements for Gutsy: 
<http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710>

But you will probably find no recommended specs needed to run it "well", 
because that "well" is very vague. It really depends on the user what is 
regarded slow or fast. So the recommended spec to run ANY system "well" 
would probably be the latest bleeding edge hardware. But that's 
ridiculous for a machine which would be used for web browsing and writing 
letters where the machine waits for user activity most of the time.
