you will prolly notice a significant slowdown from slack to debian because
slack is compiled from source and debian downloads precompiled i386
binaries.  if this is a problem for you i would recommend gentoo.  it takes
a long time to install because absolutely everything is compiled from source
but it is true i686 architechure.  for comparison sake i installed gentoo on
a 333mhz celeron with 256mb ram.  gnome2 on the gentoo box ran faster than
regular ol gnome on my debian box (p2-400 with 360 ram).  only reason i
didnt switch to gentoo on my machine is because i dont trust it for a server
quite yet.  i just figured i'd give you some insight on a fairly slick
distro.
