Installing Ubuntu on old hardware

[keith smith]

With all the talk about Ubuntu and needing to setup two boxes one with an X interface and one just a plain server (LAMP).

They both will be used mostly at this time for PHP/MySql development.  Neither will serve to the Internet just local.

They are both turn of the century technology (Year 2000) both AMD500
1 has CD writer/floppy/100MB zip, replaceable 20gig hd's, and 256MB mem
the other has 128MB mem, CD, floppy, fix 14GB HD.

I read someplace that the graphical user interface install requires 192MB RAM.  However from the talk here I take it there is a text based installer also.

Here are my questions:
1) If a Debian derivative (which I like because of apt-get) does the current real or imagined troubles at Debian _Really_ affect Ubuntu?
2) With older hardware does anyone see a problem?

Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Keith
