Installed it on a P500 with 128 Mb ram.  Install seemed like same old
Mandrake.  I haven't used it other than to click around the menus a bit,
but KDE seems to have a snappiness to it that feels fast compared to my
Celeron 533 with 192 Mb ram that's running Mandrake 10.0, or even
compared to the AMD XP-M 2200+ laptop with 256 Mb ram that also runs Mdk
10.0.

One odd thing I found is that the first time a new user starts X it
hangs early on.  Didn't seem to be the same place each time, but I only
did it 3 times.  Ctrl-alt-backspace, then startx again and it goes fine
ever after (so far).
