I have RH 7.3 running on my Toshiba Libretto (P166MMX, 64MB) as well
as on a HP "all-on-board" machine (P233MMX, 48MB). Both work amazingly
well, even with X (the Toshiba even plays mp3's and ogg's using xmms).
You definitely shouldn't run bloated desktop environments like GNOME
or KDE on such a machine, of course, and having a look at running
Opera instead of Mozilla might be an idea as well. OpenOffice is
possible but takes some patience, as swapping can't be avoided with so
little memory.

My EUR0.02,

Thomas
