Apologies if this question has been asked/answered a bazillion times 
already.

I have a Pentium I -166Mhz and a Pentium 2-266 Mhz that haven't seen 
use since the previous millennium .

Even the local charities aren't interested in them and I am reluctant 
to simply toss them. 

I'm wondering if either would be of any real use if they were to have 
a Linux OS installed on them ?

In particular, I'm wondering if they would be okay for email and web 
browsing, without the user having to wait an half hour or more every 
time the thing is turned on, for anti-virus/anti-spam software  to 
ready the machine and make it safe to connect to the web ?

While I'm here, perhaps I should also ask what the minimum 
requirements would be to set up a Linux partition on my P-IV system 
as well ?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to enlighten this long-time 
Windoze User who has grown tired of the constant "need" to update 
everything even though the "old" one was just fine.
