You might be able to help speed by moving to an *ultra* lean distro, or
trimming *every* least bit of fat from the one you have. But it's
*never* *ever* going to run like a 3GHz dual-core w/ 1G ram.
I had a 486/66 that I used until the hard drive died, but I used pine
and lynx at console. Nothing I could have done would have made it snappy
under Gnome. Nothing. Period.
