Not me. But I am thinking there is some kinda master Grub or some
utility that will boot like you want... I was just reading something
like that, though cant remember where.

Heck, I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my dell desktop that I got around
2001. Had 500 MB ram and and a 3 GHz Pentium IV with integrated
graphics. You should be able to install just about anything on there
that is not using 3D on the desktop, assuming your processor is
decent. It would probably help folk answer that question if you
mentioned the processor/graphics card, btw.

For what it is worth, with the setup I described above, KDE 4.X was
manageable but fairly slow and a drag to try to do much on, gnome 2.X
worked great, but running from live CD was sluggish. Any distro with
XFCE or LXDE or similar was fine too.
