With the replies so far, I guess you now know that X will run on your machine.
Knoppix might have troubles, though, because its autoconfiguration may be
designed for a larger machine (it reserves a 10 megabyte RAMdisk, for
example, and thst's a *lot* of your RAM, and may no longer have space for X.
As for minimal X, I once (ten or fifteen years ago) used an X terminal
with only 8 meg of RAM. It worked fine, though all my applications and
even the window manager had to run on another machine!
May I recommend abiword? It will also generate word files, and it's a good
deal smaller than OpenOffice.
