Linux n00b wants to install SuSE 9.3 on an old POS..

I have a 366MHz ThinkPad with 64MB of RAM laying around....thinking about installing SuSE 9.3 on it in order to start toying around with Linux. Will it run?

Very slowly. Suse is a heavily loaded OS designed around a full featured GUI. It works best on a more powerful system. I really like Suse, and run it on my main system, but with a 366mhz Thinkpad I would look towards a more streamlined distro such as Ubuntu or Knoppix or even **** Small Linux.
