I have a P166 (non-MMX variety) with 160MB RAM running as a firewall, Samba server, DNS server, DHCP server...bit of everything really. It's running Debian Sarge with a 2.4 kernel. You could just as easily run Ubuntu Breezy on the same hardware with a "server" installation. Bottom line is, that with a that slow, you can forget about any GUI (X windows etc) but webmin (www.webmin.com) is a good substitute if you're not comfortable with the command line.
