How I have it set up is sufficient, considering that it was an inexpensive, "check-your-email-and-write-a-paper" computer. Definitely not heavy duty.
But enough to hold both OS's and to remote connect into it on another Linux system with the NX client.
It's got 256MB ram--but I'm planning on upgrading it (adding another 512 on) and replacing the blasted CD drive.
As it stands, I have the VMware player and know how to make my own VM by using an editor on the VMX file...8^)
I did install qemu earlier--and downloaded a Minix image...8^)
