If you're looking for lightweight software you 
might want to check out the RULE Linux web site.  

       http://www.rule-project.org/

RULE stands for Run Up2date Linux Everywhere.  
Rule is intended for building systems on 
older eqipement.  
The main thing that they have is a Xorg replacement 
called kdrive that you should check out.

Another place to look is VectorLinux.  

       http://www.vectorlinux.com/

It's another lightweight Linux designed for 
older hardware.  

I'm not suggesting that you change to Linux 
but these sites may give you ideas or 
leads to other lightweight software.  

Hope that this is helpful.  

Jack
