I tried it 1994 with a slackware 1.0 and was proud seeing an xterm on
the b/w-screen attached to my 486/66. It wasn't usable at all and I went
back using the virtual consoles without X11.
With a faster CPU, a modern HDD, enough swap space ... I don't believe,
that you can't work at all: the SPARC IPX with 16MB RAM here next to me
was a CAD workstation for three years. But you'll get back in software
history: forget eclipse, tomcat, zope, plone, firefox & kde.
