Heheh. Not all of us :) Beside my dual PII-350 there sits a humble
25MHz 486. And on top of that, a 486 laptop (with a mere 4Mb of RAM).
They all run linux fine, and reasonably fast. I think there's at least
one 386 running it downstairs somewhere, but I'm not sure about that

Linux certainly shouldn't run slowly on something that powerful. Are you
running a lot of services that you don't need?
