no - I was using the box as a mailbox for a small company. the most 
noticeable speed problem was in disk IO, so I guess the speed of the CPU

that said - there are many tiny distros available - check out 
back-issues of Linux Format, for instance - every second issue has one 
or more micro-installations on the coverdisc
