Low end systems are very viable. You just have to realistic about the
limits. Youtube sucks on them. However, I can play high bitrate
XviDs on a P3/450 and a NeoMagic 256 chip with 2.5MB VRAM, so it
depends on what you need to do.

Sorry I'm late on this one Roger, but the short answer is -- your client will
be pushing it. I don't think kde3.5 will be usable on that hardware. I have a
10.3 box that is an AMD k6-2 450 w/256M that run 10.3 just fine without any
desktop. Running kde 3.5 on it would be just about out of the question. The
box works great as a fax-server, but desktop speed isn't what it has....
