Good advise from others & yes, you can run Ubuntu on that machine, but
it will be slow; take the advise to install at least 512MB & you'll be
quite happy with the results. You will need 384MB to run the most recent
liveCD's, but you can easily install with as little as 128MB using the
Alternate CD.

As far as the 7.04 DVD; use it as a coaster. 7.04 is no longer
supported, see:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

BTW: I actually have a machine that is 350Mhz/128MB that runs Ubuntu.
