Interesting.  How good are the prospects of running a Linux/XFree86/StarOffice/Konqueror setup on, say, a P-133 32MB RAM?  Will it be starved for resources and hopelessly slow?  Or will it be even more responsive and usable than Windows/Office/IE 95 on a similar system?

I think that Linux once had a reputation as being a good choice for older/outdated systems.  Does that still hold true with the modern suite of software that accompanies most distros?  Or has it made a shift to higher-end systems?
