That sounds like you don't have a swap partition, the results of "swapon 
-s" should show something like:

Filename     Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/hda10   partition       248968  107692  -1

If there isn't any swap space at all, or it doesn't say "partition", you 
need to get some space on your drive to dedicate to swap.  It's just not 
believable that a properly configured Linux system on a 300MHz processor 
with 96MB ram will run slower than the same machine running Windows 2000.

No reason to assume it is.  See your /etc/apt/sources.list.  It contains 
lines like:
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

basically if the word after the URL is 'woody' or 'testing' you have 
woody.
