Don't have one to test, but I don't know why there would be any problems. Pull out the current version of Ubuntu and try it out. Note that, unless you're running 64-bit, you won't see your 4 GBs of RAM. Something around 3.2GB or something. We've noticed lots of problems with 64-bit OSes around the office. Actually, the applications for 64-bit OSes. Either they're not updated with the frequency as the 32-bit versions (binary builds) or they're flat-out broken on 64-bit. P.S. Didn't see any reason to leave this off-list, so I'm putting it back on.
