New laptop... Worth it?

Well I'm getting a IBM Thinkpad 310ED... 166mhz P1.. Don't know much more about it than that..

Anyways, how good do you think linux would run on this?

depends on which distro you get. i suggest damn small linux as it's small and runs smoothly on older systems. that's just my opinion though. how much RAM does it have?

Well the guy doesn't know, and I've found two numbers from 2 sites..

It's between 32 and 128 mb . I wish I could find an actual spec sheet for it
