Yes. CentOS 5. Start with a minimal install (base system). Install and configure X. Only install packages you really need, be sure to deactivate all unnecessary services. Go for XFCE, IceWM, Fluxbox or some other lighter window manager. This sort of configuration is running in my neighbour's home, I installed it for them on their old PIII-500 with 128 MB RAM. Niki
