I have running here a PII with Asus P2B-F motherboard and a 40Gbyte

provide a number of vital details.

I have been running a dual-boot Debian/W2000 scheme, with Debian
"testing" on one drive and W2000 on the other, and using GRUB as the
boot loader. With a 366 MHz process, performance with W2000 and with
the Gnome desktop is acceptable, but sometimes a bit frustrating.

I suggest running a lightweight window manager to avoid frustration.
