that's your problem right there. 128mb of ram. my pIII 700mhz at work
was usable, but SLOW AS ANYTHING, when i installed fc1. toss in another
128mb and i'm off to the races. i rarely even touch the swap file
(virtual memory).
find another 128mb of ram and you'll be set. a celeron 800 with 512mb
will suit your needs for quite a few more releases of fedora (probably for
another 5 or more years).
