I have a computer at work that runs Slackware 8.0 on a 400 MHz PII with 128
MB of RAM.  I have used another one with the same processor and memory
population that runs Windows 98SE.  I greatly prefer the Slack machine
because even with KDE it's fast and responsive -- unlike 98SE.

You're pushing that little box hella hard.  Add another 64 MB of RAM if you
can, or try a different windows manager, and I think you'll be a lot happier
with it.  I've used wmaker and BlackBox, but have found my preference
normally is fvwm2.
