[Wolves] What can I run on this machine?

[Rob Smith]

Hi

I would also recommend to build a new kernel rather than use stock 
kernels for slow machines but it is suprising what is possible without 
much difficulty!!
When I 1st started with linux about a year ago my server ran Red Hat 7.3 
with KDE2 !!! and its a cyrix 233 with 128MB RAM
