I've recently installed woody on an older system: 6x86 P150, 112MB RAM, Matrox Millennium I 4MB PCI, Buslogic multimaster PCI scsi (all scsi, no ide). This system is far from modern but I really remember it feeling a lot faster when it was my primary workstation (running win95.) I've installed XFree 4.1 and Gnome 1.2. I'm new to the the recent graphical desktop developments (the last linux that I used was in the 4.x redhat days) but it seems like everything takes forever.
I have moved to a different Window Manager on the slower systems/faster response demands because I didn't want to wait for anything. WindowMaker is available under Debian and, while it's not a Desktop like KDE/Gnome, it does do a very nice (and fast) job...
