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.

Semperons were the desktop made laptop cpus right? It's hard to keep track of all that crap... remember the failure that was the thunderbird?
