Mmm.... doesn't suprise me that KDE is slow.... but why use it on a low end machine at all? If you want to get a
little more speed out of it.... well WM is good, but for fun try another great Debian distro, www.damnsmalllinux.org
Damn Small is only 50 megabytes big, is Debian, runs with Fluxbox as a windowmanager (I redid this distro with ICE as a WM) and is very very fast. Lowest machine I've used it on was a Toshiba Satellite 4000 (PII 266, with 100 mb of ram) which runs it pretty fast

It seems that the HD is touted as a 4 GB but the drive still reads like a 5 GB. Weird, but it does what I need. Now if I can get it to load PHLAK I'll have many hours of learning fun. I really appreciate the help. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I had to format the drive to load the debian Sarge. It didn't like something on the drive.
