what is the fastest fedora/redhat distribution on a PII 300 Mhz, 196MB RAM laptop?

Considering the size of memory, I'd say RH9.
FC1 was too buggy (in my eyes)
FC2 and 3 were too heavy to be used with 196MB. (I have a similar laptop
with 256MB)
However, be advised that using such an old distro is a major security
risk.
Another interesting option is CentOS 2.1 / RHEL 2.1.
Both are still supported and should perform fairly close to RH9.
