OT: What to use on a PIII in Bulgaria?

[Peter Alcibiades]

Slax is really worth a look on older equipment.  Slackware based, and the
Slack based distros are always faster.  No fat - 200MB.  Media players.  A
bit manual to install on hard drive, but it can be done - the default is
liveCD.  Very customizable.  And KDE is at least as close to Windows as
Gnome, most think closer.  It will run entirely in memory if you want, so
its pretty fast.  The fastest distro with a mainstream desktop that you'll
find.  Good hardware detection.  Been around quite a while.  I checked the
latest Puppy a couple weeks ago and that's OK, but disapointing by
comparison.

Its basically a pure KDE based Slackware distro. KOffice, Konqueror, Kmail. 
And a few supplementary media bits and bobs.  It would run Rev fine.  There
are smaller faster ones, but nothing which has a better balance between
speed, function, and familiarity.
