486 is plenty fast. I'd be more concerned about the amount of RAM. 8Mb is enough for most things, but you might want 16Mb if you plan on running X-windows. A 386 is the minimum (for Intel architecture) that Linux will run on.

340Mb hard drive shouldn't be a problem. Just don't pick the *install everything* button during installation. Just get the packages you need.
