If it helps any, I'm running CentOS4 on an old PII 400Mhz, 192MB laptop. Under
Gnome, it's not exactly snappy, but it is usable. Unser XFCE4.2, i'm quite ahppy
with it. I know you stated that you need Gnome, and I also prefer it. But if you
haven't tried some of the lightweight alternatives, give them a shot, you may be
surprised.
Intereating article about the new lightweight Windows OS. However, I don't think it
will meet your needs, as it will be extremely crippled, to the point it won't even
run MS Office if I read correctly.
