I'm typing this from a Toshiba Satellite 440 CDT, and it gave me no issues except getting the sound running (which was solved by adding a few parameters to a modprobe statement in bootlocal.sh).
These days, memory for these laptops can be found very inexpensively. I found a 64 meg stick for a whopping 25 dollars (US) on ebay. It made an enormous difference in the functionality of the laptop.
Most of the older toshibas had 16mb of ram on the system board, and a single expansion slot. I'd suggest finding some memory and making the most of it. It'll be the difference, in my experience, between something barely useable and a fully functional (albeit still a little slow) machine.
After all, my 25 bucks turned this hunk of free salvage into my "daily driver"
