Debian 3.0r1 will feel at home. With a good video card, and oh,
say xfce, Abiword, Gnumeric, Sylpheed and Opera. Using the nvidia
binaries under something like fvwm,, TuxRacer may even be playable.

They'll be kinda old versions, since they are at gtk v1.2, but
it's definitely lighter than gtk2

Of course, it goes w/o saying that mutt, vim, links and a DOS
spreadsheet under dosemu would be downright blazing.

And it would make a killer firewall.

Heck, I may even trade you my 32MB 233MHz Cyrix for it... Why
should I use all that power for a firewall?
