Ah but the other side of the coin can be just as bad! I run linux on New hardware and it too can be just painful, not due to a lack of speed but linux struggling to keep with the hardware!
320 RAM? A P200 is quite slow for running X. I hate seeing novices recycling machines with linux and putting X on it. New machines are really quite cheap. IMO it puts Linux in a bad light when people see something like X+KDE for the first time on a struggling pentium. Win95 is honestly better. :/
Old machines are great for testing out the dark(console) side of linux. mutt, irssi, vim and various services. :)
