I have installed Slackware v9.1 with Xwindows on a
Pentium 200 MHz, with 64 Megabytes of RAM and
a 2 gigabyte hard drive. If you choose a window
manager other than KDE or Gnome, it will fit and run.
With your 252 MB of RAM, X will be just fine.
Suse 9.x should work well also.
Have you considered an older release?
Red Hat 7.3, Suse 7.x, Slackware 7.x would be fine.
If your processor is less than a Pentium, try Slackware
as 9.x will run on a 80486 and Slackware 7.x runs on a
80386. You can always compile the kernel for your own
level of processor.
HTH, Chuck
