I think its better if you install the latest version of a linux distro and just tweak it a bit to make it run faster. Some ideas would be: 1. Disable server daemons which you dont need on the desktop. 2. Disable some virtual terminals in the console (There's seven by default I think) 3. Configure grub or lilo to boot into linux after 3 seconds. 4. Use a lightweight window manager like icewm, fluxbox, window maker, equinox, etc. Note that most of the above are really memory saving tips. Others, please feel free to add some of your tips.
