I use RedHat 8.0 (on a PC with 256MB memory), and it is already old if
to judge from the quantity of new software, whose RPMs I cannot rebuild
or install due to all kinds of silly dependencies.
I would be interested, too, in Web sites which provide new software for
RedHat 8.0 based installations.
About memory needs of new distributions:
I have FC1 on a laptop with 128MB memory, and it is slow to start
applications. People advise to add additional 128MB memory.
About your Pentium 200 speed, it may be too slow nowadays (both my PC
and laptop use 1.7GHz processors).
