I have a Macintosh Quadra 800 (33Mhz 68040) which I have run icewm on for
years and it is reasonably fast... So the pentium should be fine with it...
The big thing I would suggest is more ram... It probly uses 72pin simms,
they are dirt cheap (I got 4x32megs for $25 on epay a couple weeks ago) and
it will significantly speed up the system...
sloopy.
Macintosh - Think Different
Linux on Macintosh - Think VERY Different...
