It'll work fine

Until fairly recently my primary desktop was a 500Mhz P-III w/ 256MB and two disks, 9G and 11G. Sure, I had to turn off the desktop effects. But as long as I stayed away from whizzy graphical stuff it worked fine.

I still have it hooked up headless. I can run a full LAMP stack (Linux Apache mySQL PHP) and it never breaks a sweat. I did Java development on it when I was teaching myself.

You may have your reasons for not learning Java, but your current hardware isn't one of them.

and if you want to be a bit more spritely

you could run it with the XFCE desktop, which is super lightweight and very functional. No effects at all...its designer made it specifically for lighter weight hardware.

Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
