My 1.0 GHz box took a dump, so I moved my 256 MB stick of RAM and my hard
drive into an old PII-233 someone had given me. I continued using all my
usual stuff. It was slow, but the main irritation was the way I could type
so much faster than the screen could keep up with me.
I was glad when I could finally afford to replace my dead computer, but I used
that junker as my only running machine for three or four months, and I was
never even tempted to replace KDE with something else. But I've said before,
I'm a KDE fanboy, and it's true.
