[TriLUG] My slow linux machine

[Magnus Hedemark]

One thing I forgot to add... I used to run OpenBSD on a machine like this.  
Nowhere near as point-and-click friendly, but it is very minimalist in 
what it installs by default.  Install the ports tree on it, go into ports 
directory for the WM of your choice and "make install".  Follow the docs 
on setting up X11.  It's more work than setting up a Fedora box, but IMHO 
more appropriate for leveraging low end hardware on the desktop.
