Not strictly relevant to the original query, but I thought I'd mention
I'm running SL 3.x on a Thinkpad 600 with only 192 MB RAM.  It complains
on startup that SL is unsupported with that little memory, but for
lightweight use -- mainly web browsing and ssh to other servers -- it
seems to work fine (albeit sluggishly) even using Gnome.
