And tell us what it says.
RAM could be anything from 64MB to 1GB, CPU from a 600 Celeron

My Computer sez:

Internal C - 133G
Internal D - 17G
Extenal G - 1 T

Oddly, My Computer in this system only provides drive info. System in
Control Panel sez:

Speed 1.59 GHz
512 MB RAM
XP Home Version 2002

I think if you added another 512 MB you'd be fine even with XP (with a 1.6
GHz CPU), and wouldn't have to go to Linux, unless you really wanted to (but
why?). I also found it curious that D: was only 17GB. I wonder why it's
that low (or maybe its just the partition size, and not a separate HD)?
