*i would suggest you try and cut down on the "eye candy" remove the animated
everything... the show contents of window while dragging.. the window border
styles... icons in the K menu and other stuff. No Arts sound server...
* use 2.6.0 its preety good for desktop interactivity. i am using 2.6.0 on a
PII 350MHz and the bloat of redhat 9 run preety okay. with 2.6.0 and
removing
the above features.
* i am doing all this with KDE,
