The only problem I can forsee is a limited choice of distributions to 
choose from. As I understand it, Mandrake compiles things for pentium 
machines and faster, and I know from experience that Red Hat needs 16M for 
installation.

I have recently installed debian on a machine with similar specs. 
Setiathome took several days to do one unit.
