Yeah right, maybe you can run a text shell of Debian under those specs... get real, KDE won't work properly on anything under 600 mhz.
That's odd... I suppose there's something wrong with my monitor, because periodically Heretic 3 appears to run just fine on my 360 mhz (WINE, of course).

Ok, I'm kinda annoyed that Redhat takes up 3 non-source cds now, but I've got 7.2 running great on a 1.5 Gig drive. I'm actually only using 1.2 gigs of that, and my computer could act as a industrial webserver if I wanted it to (because it NEVER crashes except under special circumstances (my little brother throws one of his toys into the open case)). Last time Redhat crashed without having a toy or lamp inside the case was the time I put in bad memory.

Windows XP "looks" like it takes up a lot, but if you disable system restore and decrease the swap space it really doesn't take up that much.
*sigh* I haven't actually checked this because I've never used an XP machine. The 2K machine I'm using at work right now 978K of data in the WINNT directory. This doesn't count Internet Explorer files, which might push the amount of unusable disk-space above the size of my entire Redhat partition, complete with Redhat's source, gcc, Netscape, KDE (which runs great), Heretic 3, Rune (from Loki games), etc...

Open source now?
Open source NEVER! Go Microsoft!
Why could any user be against open source? I may be missing something, but I don't see why you're so avidly attempting to deny yourself and others the ability to see the code you're depending on.
Edit: fixed a typo
