That would really depend on what you mean by sufficient.  I have a 486SX
25MHz system with 16 Megs RAM running Woody right now.  It works for what
I ask it to do.  I don't have XFree86 running on it (nor would I really
attempt such a thing).  But if you're asking whether the hardware can
handle the OS, sure it can.  If you can give us an idea of what you want
to use the system for, I'm sure that someone here can provide you with a
better estimate of what to expect.

No problem.  I've got debian on an Intel 486sx with 8MB FPM RAM.
Sure, it thrashes a lot and is really only useful for routing, but it
runs.  (and apt-get doesn't die with mmap errors like the rh/rpm port
does with 96MB EDO RAM)

What do you intend to use this machine for?  It will surely suffice
for common console-based operation (familiarizing yourself with *nix,
client-side email handling, web browsing, text editing).  You could
probably even manage to use LaTeX or even X, but stick with a
lightweight windowing environment!

HTH,

 I've got a P75/24 Mo RAM running Debian, it runs a potato : X (with a 
smal window manager) is available,  Netscape 4 is usable.
 It runs fine as a router, small web/mail/dns/dhcp server and for 
backups. Only a loaded PostgreSQL seems to be too much for him.

I have Debian Woody on a 120 Mhz/48Mb Pentium system. It works fine as
a basic Linux system, but it's not a great choice for building kernels
or anything. What do you plan on doing with it?

How much hard disk do you have? Last I checked it took a little under
250 Mb to install a basic system (nothing from tasksel).

Cheers!
