XP runs in 200MB of RAM? Wow. That's testing the limits there, upgrade
to a half gig and you will be doing just fine.

I'm currently runnin Ubuntu (full) on:

Pentium III 800
Asus P3B-F Motherboard
5 Gig hard drive
524mb RAM
Ubuntu Flies with advanced graphics turned on, even.

Might I suggest Knoppix? Or DSLinux? They are Live Linux distros that
will run from a cd on very low spec machines, no hard drive required.
I think my Ubuntu install took like 2.5 gig. I'll have to check.


Hope I could help!
