My notebook is still using 386sx/16 w/ 5 MB. Starting X does also
take some 5 minutes, starting Emacs (under X!) will take another
minute. The system didn't lock up however. (This is still with
1.1.5.1, but 2.0.5R might go onto this machine RSN.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
