For a normal RH9 installation with Gnome or KDE, 68M of RAM is just
way too little. I'd suggest atleast 128M, preferably more. I'm quite
happy with 256M myself. Of course you could try some smaller window
manager / desktop environment, but apps like Mozilla and OpenOffice.org
would still be slow (of course there are slimmer alternatives too).
