no, no, no, K/U/Xubuntu wouldn't run on the 450 MHz Celeron.  Debian Etch
did, and nicely, with KDE no less.  Debian Etch has worked everywhere I've
tried it.  *buntu has not, PCLinuxOS has not, Mandriva has not (add, Fedora
Core, openSUSE, Bonzai, caos, DeLi, DesktopBSD, KateOS, pcbsd, SaxenOS,
Freespire and gnewSense).  About a year ago I got the then-current version
of DSL to run on a pentium 90 that had a one gig hard drive & 64 MB of RAM.
It ran slow, but it ran and, just lately, I've been wondering if it wouldn't
run as well or better with Etch.  I've got a set of disks for Sarge but Etch
is a couple of orders of magnitude more user friendly.
