I have Fedora Core 2 running on a 450 MHz AMD K6-III with 128 MB RAM.  Until 
last month, this was my main machine.  X is a little slow, but still usable
for the occasional web surfing.   Since I replaced it on my desktop I 
have been using it for mail and print server, without X.  Hums right along.

Mark
