my turn.

Mandrake 9.0 on a 450MHz laptop
Debian Sarge on a 300MHz desktop
Mandrake 7.2 on a Pentium Pro

All with KDE et plenty of eye candy.

(Mind you - these are not really that old computers and KDE is a ressources hog. For real speed, try DSL on *really* old machines)

All of the above faster, a lot faster, than Win98/W2k. Also faster than Debian on Mac and A LOT faster than OSX on Mac (by faster, I mean at boot up and at application loading).

You are welcome to speak about us fellating GNU/Linux, but may I suggest that you are in, shall we say, "Greek passive" role with your proprietery OS?!
