Sorry, but I am working on a development project for Iran and 
Afghanistan and they HAVE many of this Very-Old-Computers....

KDE is Overkill !!!

I am using Debian GNU/Linux in following Versions:

 75 to 133 MHz	32 MB mem	SLINK	with fvwm2, netscape 4.07, SO 4.0
150 to 200 MHz	64 MB mem	POTATO	with fvwm2, netscape 4.72, SO 5.2
233 to ... MHz	96 MB mem	WOODY	with fvwm2, mozilla 1.6, OO.o 1.02
