I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server on an old Pentium 3 667 and an Athlon 800 and it works fine. From experience I've found the more memory you can give the machine the better. You can install XFCE on it but I would have thought it would dump on a load more packages too if you install the xubuntu-desktop meta package.
