Yes...your config will work.  I have quite a number of machines
set up about the same way.  If you are doing much X, you'll
probably want to jump up to 8MB RAM when you can afford it, as X
is a real memory pig.  If your planning on doing any development,
you'll definately need more disk, and 12MB of RAM makes life a lot
easier.
