Not at all slow... mandrake 10.1 runs well on my spare PC with that much ram. Best is slackware...better than debian, though they have optimised the kde well. You can always cut down on effects in kde too.
Only KDE is OK with 256MB RAM. But if U r running it with say openoffice+mail/evolution+gaim then the the disk thrashing (i.e virtual memory) will kick-in. I would rather have a light weight WM rather than having light weight application.

I would love to have 1GB RAM for that matter: since that is not the case I shall have to settle for a bit slower speed. Does any body in the list have kubuntu/ mepis/ kanotix? I guess these distros will serve my purpose. icewm can be added later.

Thanks

Palash.
