Yes...I would stick with debian. Although I find it strange to hear the
the 2.6 kernel runs slowly. Have you tried the AMD optimised kernel? or
looked into compiling the kernel yourself and doing custom
optimizations?<br>
<br>
I&#39;m currently running debian sarge on an old Toshiba Protege (486) as
well as an old IBM pentium laptop and both run great. I use the 486
strictly in console mode (screen, htop, elinks and mp3blaster) as a
streamed music receiver and manipulates the front end to my slimserver
via elinks. The IBM just makes a great portable console for plugging
into switches etc. (2lbs?)<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t know that I&#39;d trust either to run a gui at a reasonable speed,
but they work well in their current configurations and would recommend
the same for you maybe.<br>
<br>
