Modern Linux with GUI does not like that. 2GB is also too little. 9 years ago, my brother and I shared a computer (PII 350, 64MB SDRM later to 384MB, 6GB HDD later to 6GB+8GB) and we ran Windows 98SE and Linux. As of today, he is still running this computer as a backup. To me modern Linux with KDE/Gnome is not for ancient hardware. Still you might try Xubuntu.
