The computer I use everyday (and that I'm using to post this) has a 1.7ghz Sempron and 512MB of RAM and I run Linux with a GUI just fine.

It is fast and there is no pain at all.

Last time I checked that isn't a low spec machine... try looking at sub 800mhz and 128 megs of ram or less.  Just because a machine looks like trash next to the higher middle end doesn't make it low spec.  Of course they have distro for 386s.

 

 

I don't think it is that low spec. But it is similar to what a lot of netbooks are shipping with. Although I don't know how the Atom compares to the Sempron.
