SuSE, openSUSE If there are two things in this apartment that I don't like, that would first be the dog upstairs which barks at 5 AM almost every morning, and the fact that UPS almost never deliver things on our door. They never bother to check if we are in. The SuSE people were very kind to send us the Professional version of SuSE 8.1, but unfortunately, I received it 10 days later after it arrived in the apartment's complex. But now we got it here, we gave it a spin for almost a week, and here is what we think about it.

Actually a P166 is more than enough for X. You just need to build a light system and pick a light window manager.
I can recommend Blackbox, Fluxbox, WindowMaker and IceWM for you... KDE and Gnome would be dog-slow though.

Also pick light apps like Phoenix for web browser, xmms for mp3, AbiWord for word edtior, Sylpheed for mail etc etc
