I have debian running on a 500Mhz box with 256MB ram. It's prettyslow...slower than windows would be. Is there anyone who know what Icould be doing to speed things up? turning off services, adding ram? I'malso considering tying another version of Linux, but maybe this box isjust too slow at 500Mhz?
