I think it runs fine on my IBM X40, but I'll have to check -- I've got
the Mint/Xfce version of 9.04 running on that. My desktop, from which I
pulled the earlier results, is about 5 yrs old.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend 9.10 -- though it does some things very
nicely, there are a couple of bugs in Nautilus, including one that likes
to move all my desktop links to the upper left every time I log on, and
I'm very lower right oriented. Oddly, it's only the links. Folders,
files, and launchers stay where you put them, so I converted all the
links I wanted to launchers, which works fine, though it's a touch more
effort to set them up. And Conky is turning out to be a hassle to run
to, though that's undoubtedly some small tweak in conkyrc. I'll probably
continue with Mint 6 as my main desktop.
