I installed debian on an old total peripherals 486dx4100 - no cd rom.
I used base floppies ,installed samba and then used dselect through a network
connection to my other pc with a cdrom.
Everything works fine - pcmcia, modem , touch mouse pad in X
(X was the hardest thing to configure)

This depends alot on what you wan't to use it for. My Compaq Armada has a 850
MB HD, which is plenty for my use ( although an extra gig, never hurts :-).
It's an 75 MHz Pentium processor with 16 MB RAM, enough for fvwm, XF4 and
emacs. I tried using gnome on it, but that was simple too much for i
