hardware questions

please help me!!!

i am somewhat new to the installation part of linux ...i am used to it already being on my computer so i know nothing of hardware requirements...so I need your opinions to run Debian...

how would debian run on
a pentium 4 2.8GHz
pentium 4 2.6GHz
Celeron 2.8GHz

I dont play games, I dont any imaging stuff...I just do programming and play with a few tools like ethereal...so I figure a celeron might be ok, but most of you know more than me :) thank you in advance!
