I have an old IBM Thinkpad with 10gb hd, 96mb of ram and I did a netinst of Debian with Fluxbox on it. It runs pretty decent for the specs. I just installed only apps I needed the most.

I still have the machine but haven't used it for a few years. I may drag it out and fire it up to see what will happen.
