320 RAM? A P200 is quite slow for running X. I hate seeing novices
recycling machines with linux and putting X on it. New machines are
really quite cheap. IMO it puts Linux in a bad light when people see
something like X+KDE for the first time on a struggling pentium. Win95
is honestly better. :/

Old machines are great for testing out the dark(console) side of linux.
mutt, irssi, vim and various services. :)
