Certainly. We've got 2.0.30 running on two PentiumII 233's [1] here at
OGI. Kernel compiles in 3 minutes or so. :)

However, the Intel PD440FX motherboard's BIOS is absolutely horrendous,
and I was stuck for a couple weeks just banging out IRQ conflicts since
you can't manually assign them on a per-slot basis, and the BIOS was
handing out duplicates, which the aic7xxx driver didn't particularly like.
(I've since gotten patches...)

Plenty fast, though. (:
