I think it's a better option than try running Win95/98/2000.
About GUI, of course you can have it. It depends on your RAM wich one
would work well. In your case I would use X with fvwm2. kde needs a lot of
RAM to run smooth. What do you expect, if a GUI has to look and behave
(i.e. be that "comfortable" whatever this means) like MS-Windows it will
have similar resource requirements ;.).
About your disk space. With 340MB you will have to take a closer look what
software packets to install. With most of the distributions you will have
to browse the packets list and select(/deselect) manually what to install.
And last but not least, your RAM is not much (for todays standards) so
use enough virtual memory (64MB swap should be OK I think).
Have a nice day,
