I did it on a Pentium 60 with 16mb ram and two rtl8139 NICs. You will have to be very conscious though of what you install- keep it to a minimum! Don't install X or anything graphical, and don't run anything on it that will chew up much memory. I ran apache and a mail server with spamassassin as the only two applications of significance resource-wise.
For the record, I did this with slackware. I think it started with 7.0, and I made it to 8.2 before switching to a new machine and going with Mandrake.
