I'm beginning to see the same thing... For example, I looked at the Xubuntu
kit, and it requires 128MB for a Hard Drive install.

I just installed Ubuntu (on a much larger system) and I saw something
that suggested a minimum of 192Mb to install. I doubt you really want
Ubuntu on a system with that little RAM; it might work if you install
the "server" variant, which installs a relatively minimal system, but I
suspect that DSL or one of the other small Linux systems would be a
whole lot better.
