No problem.  I've got debian on an Intel 486sx with 8MB FPM RAM.
Sure, it thrashes a lot and is really only useful for routing, but it
runs.  (and apt-get doesn't die with mmap errors like the rh/rpm port
does with 96MB EDO RAM)

What do you intend to use this machine for?  It will surely suffice
for common console-based operation (familiarizing yourself with *nix,
client-side email handling, web browsing, text editing).  You could
probably even manage to use LaTeX or even X, but stick with a
lightweight windowing environment!

HTH,
