If so, the entire conversation is moot. Steven mentions this above,

Michael,
Apparently you didn't read my request thoroughly. Anyways, my
child hood friend's computer, the 400mHz 256MB ram, is actually fast
enough to run Farmtown on Facebook, because I am actually looking at
it right now. Runs ok and it may run ok for her as well. She could
be used to the
I've got a really old P4 Williamette system around here with 1.5 GHz P4 and
~384 MB PC100 SDRAM (not sure about the exact amount, it might be 512 MB.)
If you're interested, let me know and I'll wipe the drive.

If you have better things to do than build a system from the ground up
( including hal).
Try Puppy Linux
I'd like to point out that flash on linux sucks undesirable body parts.
If she wants to play the flash games on facebook, she really wants a better
computer than the specs you listed if it is linux. This is a adobe problem
not a linux problem.
At $299 you can get dual core Pentium D 2.8ghz, 1gig
she's playng with it sorta ok with Windows XP, but viruses hit here

Are you running the XORG or the XVESA drivers? (For the uninitiated,
Puppy offers a choice during install). It's worth tweaking the XORG
drivers to make them work if you have to because they are much quicker
than the XVESA drivers in my experience.
BTW -- I love Puppy.
