]For the sake of consistency, it is not advisable to run e.g. Mandrake +
]KDE on some systems and FeatherLinux + IceWm on others. Also there is no
]way you can run OOo on a 32M system no matter what distro/wm you use. So,
]for the P100/32M systems I second John's LTSP suggestion.
]For Celeron433/64M systems I would suggest that you upgrade them to at
]least 128M (preferably 192M), try to overclock them by 10% or more
](increase bus speed from 66 to 75MHz or higher, search "overclocking" for
]details) and see my other posts on the subject, with following message ids:
The memory is a good idea. The overclocking is a bad idea. That 10% is
negligible increase in speed-- you will not notice it, but you will notice
the crashes and the instability.
