Quite well. However, if you run X on it, you'll need at least 32 meg. Linux
by itself probably would be happy w/ 8. I used an old Cyrix based motherboard
as a router/firewall/web server for my cable modem internet connection. It 
has yet to reach 30% cpu capacity. I'm actually thinking of downgrading the
hardware and use that machine for additional sound processing.

I have two identical machines on my desk at work (300mHz PII), one w/ WinNT 4.0, 
the other RedHat 6.0. It always feels like something is wrong w/ the machine
running NT, it is soooo sluggish compared to the Linux box.
