How much memory do you have on the old Dell? Does everything run fine after the startup slowness?I have 128MB of RAM. The boot "pause" up is the only issue. I ran 3.0 for a long time on it, then 4.0 and I really think 5.0 (once booted) runs a little bit faster than 4.0 (all fresh installs not upgrades).
Okay, well I run my P233 box as a headless one, I've now upgraded it to Lenny (also with 128MB RAM) and an old 5GB laptop drive.
I found the upgrade too a great deal of time, but it works. However, when I do a simple vim of a file, it takes quite a while before it opens, but it does open.
The real test will be passing ssh tunnel traffic through it when I need to at some stage on the road from my trusted IPs.
