The install documentation or the FAQ does have this answer, but yes you should be able to run fine on this machine. Just don't try to install X windows, unless you set up a *lot* of swap. It also depends a little bit on if there is any noncooperative hardware on the machine. Laptops tend to have some of that. Best bet is to try it. 4.x will probably work the best for you.
