Keith,
The minimums for Slackware-13.x are:
It will run on systems as far back as the 486. Below is a list of minimum
system requirements needed to install and run Slackware.
* 486 processor
* 16MB RAM (32MB suggested)
* 100-500 megabytes of hard disk space for a minimal and around 3.5GB
for full install
* DVD drive
Additional hardware may be needed if you want to run the X Window System at
a usable speed or if you want network capabilities.
Running Xfce rather than KDE (even though the former is bloating not
everything needs to be installed) keeps the X requirements down.
I ran Slackware (and earlier version) on my Toshiba Portege with 96M RAM
(including Xfce for the X Window System).
