I've been running FreeBSD on my 486 PC since 2.2.8 and later when I upgraded
to a P133 with 32 Mb of RAM, it was running happily.  Now that same 2-3 yr
old box is running 4-STABLE and apart from adding a few Gb's of disk space it
hasn't changed much.

Yes, you can run FreeBSD on this.  Disk space and RAM are all you might feel
like adding in time.
