Here's an alternative if CentOS performance is not satisfactory on that computer.
I believe Elive [0] was created for exactly your aged computer.When you visit [1] below, take a look at the section titled "*Fast Dinosaurs!*" where they have a few YouTube videos showing old computers running Elive. One video in particular: "*Pentium-II, 266 Mhz, 64 MB of RAM, 12GB HD Toshiba 4080xcdt -- Running Elive!*"
It took about 3 minutes to get to the GUI. However, the point here is that /*if*/ Elive runs on a Pentium-II @ 266Mhz, it ought to run quite well on a Pentium-III @ +860Mhz.
