[Techtalk] Two Totally off-the wall Questions

[wny-tc at juno.com]

Hi.  Keith here in the Depths of the Great Bergen Swamp

A couple of questions:

1 - If I want to set up an old PC as just a Linux Email box, what do I
need for hard drive space?  I have a couple of old Pentiums here, a 75
MHz with 24 MB RAM and a 540 MB HD and a 233 MHz with 64 MB RAM and a 1.6
GB HD.  I am sure that the larger, faster one will hack it, but how about
the old/slow box?

2 - I have inherited an old IBM Thinkpad 350 from one of my brothers. 
It's a 486-33/12MB RAM/850MB HD.  Is there any chance of being able to
run any sort of tiny Linux installation on that machine?
