I don't know if there are any minimum specs out there but GRASS runs on my Pentium Celeron 2.0 with 512 RAM, integrated video card laptop(64mb shared memory) from 5 years ago. Not zippy and I really didn't use the GUI much, so I would say try for something better than those specs. QGIS works well enough to load small shapefiles, import gps and load grass layers, just takes a minute or two on a 50,000 point layer. PS: It's running Ubuntu 8.04 with XFCE as the window manager You might want to use the requirements of Xubuntu as a good way to find your minimum.
