As long as you don't try loading X/gnome/KDE you should be OK. Just to see if it could be done, I got Gentoo working on a 400 mhz PII, Dell Optiplex GX1. There was one weird setting I needed in /etc/make.conf MAKEOPTS="-j1" With the recommended -j2 setting, compiles were blowing up. Other than that, and being a bit slow, it was OK.
