The link below is a very good rundown of how to optimize a RedHat system running a 2.4 kernel system on older hardware by none other than Alan Cox. In it, he describes a number of ways to get a 486/33 with 24MB of RAM working well, even WITH a GUI.
Note that some of the tips are straightforward, while others require a fair amount of technical prowess. It's not mean as a detailed howto or handhold for beginners, but well worth it for anyone determined to let their older hardware work at it's best. It contains software and library recommendations, kernel configuration tips, ISA/MCA hardware selection recommendations and a wealth of other information. Much of the information makes good sense even for those with newer hardware.
