Linux can run on much less 
However all Mint versions, including xfce is rather "graphics heavy" compared to some distributions
If you use the supergrub disk to make a swap partition before you start the xfce live CD I think you may be able to get it running.
Normally I think xfce should be able to run on 192 MB, but this is a beta with some unsolved issues with memory leaks (which will be solved in time)

Don't fix it if it ain't broken, don't break it if you can't fix it

i'm not too sure about mint, but it's based on ubuntu and that won't run on anything less than 256 mb of ram without SEVERE delay. why don't you post your specs and then we can suggest some distros?
i am using vector linux on a old p3. you could use such things as damn small linux, puppy linux, tinyme, PCfluxboxOS, if you want to look for yourself go to http://www.distrowatch.org and take a look.
EDIT: i didn't see all the other responces. sorry to rehash.
