Yes. I just helped set up 6 more LTSP boxen at the Pleasant Hill Junior
High school today, they all were Pentium-100's with 32 megs of ram, and
old 2 meg video cards... granted, they're acting as thin clients given
the LTSP architecture (see http://ltsp.org/ or http://k12ltsp.org/ for
more info!),
If you have a mixed hardware environment (such as mac, pc, sun, ...) and all
the computers must run the same OS, then linux is probably your only answer.
And if you want the OS to be consistent across that mixed hardware, then
Debian and NetBSD are likely the only choice.

Should work fine! my craptops are about 1/2 that (P-120 w/24 megs), and they
are pretty slow by todays standards. I have actually run enlightenment on one
once (took about 5 minutes to load up...). When running linux or bsd, I use
blackbox/fluxbox most of the time, I also use icewm
Depending on the OS, what you describe should work. Older hardware is severely
limited and you'll need to be really patient installing anything.

question is more like, "Should I?" because the answer becomes a guarded, "P

I was wondering if any of you think I would have enough memory to run
LyX with a lightweight windows manager like fluxbox on a Pentium 200
with 48 MB RAM - it is maxed out in memory. This is the main program I
want to use on Linux that I can't use on Windows. If this works I can
