I'm running Redhat 6.2 on the p200/32mb laptop I use here.  In
installing I had problems with the X configuration itself and then the
keyboard configuration while running X both of which were solved with a
little effort (and some advice from others on the list :-).  Performance
has been great from the console and ok while in X.  With only 16mb you
probably won't be as fortunate in that regard.

my 2 cents...
