Quote/ Linux and Unix based OS's will work great under something like that 200mhz but still remember it will be slow so before you think it has crashed, just give it a few minutes. /Quote

That is a joke, right? If you want to experience slow, try Slack Sparc Linux on a Sun Sparc 2, 20mhz!!!
It took two hours to generate the keys on an install!!

I have a dual PPro 200 and have run Win2k/Suse/RedHat/ and am presently running FreeBSD on it.
It is reasonable with any of the above, but I don't play games on it. The PPro was the first Xeon and was optimized for 32 bit code, no comparison between a PPro and a Pentium 200.

BTW, forget the "Old version" stuff, we are talking Linux here, not Windows :D
