Hi and welcome.  Depends what you want to do!  For internet 
browsing, email and image viewing for example, I've found an
old 266MHz PII with 96MB of memory to be quite adequate.  A DVD 
drive is a big advantage.

Get hold of a 'spare' PC if you can, then look for a Linux mag 
with a distro glued to the cover, would be my advice.  Direct 
any questions or requests for assistance here, or have a look at 
the forums at linuxformat.co.uk.

Cheers
James
