You might have difficulties owing to the from source build system, slow package builds and that. However, if you've got a pre-built tarball or you use binary packages there's no real reason it shouldn't work. Both the minimal and full install CD's are still small enough they fit on a regular CD, not requiring a DVD. Things are slightly easier in this situation if you have a Pentium MMX or better, but even something as low as a 486 will actually work provided you haven't loaded so much stuff on it that it can't support it as far as RAM goes. - -- Yes means no and no means yes.
