[expert] The worlds SLOWEST linux boxen

[Nightwriter]

All,
    I'm wrestling here with a linux for windows install of 7.1 on a Celeron 
400mhz cpu with 32 megs ram 65 megs swap i810 video card.  currently it 
takes 23 minutes 26 seconds from power on till kde is ready to 
go.  Netscape.... start it today and it'll be ready tomorrow.  Windows 
however snaps on the same box.  (only 50megs swap)  Any ideas?
