On my 56MB 2300 with a 3GB drive, I ended up with 8.1 after much trial and
error. For me, the only lack was sherlock internet search, but since I no
longer hook up to the internet with the 2300, that was not a problem.
The main problem was that 8.6 took about twice as much RAM for the system
a
rned about RAM. I'm not
certain of this, but I'd imagine that 8.1 might use less RAM.

Usually in a case like this, since the drive is new (to the
machine) and will be formatted anyway, I would just try both.
Install 8.1 and run a few tests. Then format again and install
8.6 and run the same tests. The tests should include a lot of
"how does it feel" tests because you may find that
I did a lot of experimenting and testing on my 2300 about the same questions
this summer. The difference in startup time between 8.1 and 8.6 was
insignificant... they both booted in just about the same amount of time.
Granted, my 2300 has 56 mb of RAM, so that might make 8.6 work better on my
mac
