I used a IPS-screened Thinkpad T42 (1.5 GB RAM, compact flash card in place of HDD) + RAM-booted Tiny Core Linux + Non DAW for producing radio shows for my country's public broadcasting. The T42's sound card didn't work, so a Zoom H1 recorder was used daily as an audio interface. I even used that machine to record something important outdoors with an Avid Mbox 2, but I remember feeling really uneasy as to how well this would work out. I liked the T42 a lot (I still have it).
