Unless that old sytem is *really old*. Linux, or at 
least the GUI part, is like anything else - it needs 
a reasonably fast processor and memory, plus disk
space. 

It's hard to state minimums, because it mostly depends

on what you want to do with it. And what distribution 
you choose. There are some distributions which are
designed specifically for "lesser" machines.
And some window managers which use only a small amount

of resources. That's one of the advantages of Linux, 
you have a choice.
