IF you don't want to put this box on the internet, try a distribution thats 
designed for your needs:

o Red Hat 6.x 
o Peanut Linux
o SuSE 6.3

Any of these were designed on ~200mhz machines with at most 64meg of memory. 
While some of the eye-candy will be missing, you will get much snappier 
screens. I believe Hylafax was in red hat and suse in those revs. 

If you plan to put this box online, the first two recommendations above are 
still maintained for low end boxes. (That is, you can find info about what 
patches you need before logging on. )
