Slitaz on an old IBM Aptiva

Hi, I have an old IBM Aptiva 2151-90L with these specs:

* CPU: Pentium III with 500 mhz

* RAM: 64MB

* Graphics: AGP 8MB ATI expert

It currently runs Windows 2000: slow, but works. I'd like to find out whether ít would make sense to replace Windows with Slitaz. I have a few questions on that:

a) Should I expect any troubles with that hardware?

b) Perhaps someone could tell me what to expect: Will Slitaz be faster than Windows?

c) Should I try the normal slitaz-4.0.iso (not sure if I want the new RC) or any other flavors from http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/slitaz/iso/4.0/flavors/ ?

Thanks

Choose one of this:

slitaz-4.0-loram-cdrom.iso

slitaz-4.0-loram.iso

Wow, fast Response!

> slitaz-4.0-loram-cdrom.iso

> slitaz-4.0-loram.iso

What's the difference between the two?

http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/flavors.php

slitaz-4.0-loram.iso [41.0M] - Loram flavor that can start SliTaz on machines with very limited resources and needs only 128MB without disabling the cdrom

slitaz-4.0-loram-cdrom.iso [163.0M] - Loram flavor that can boot with only 24 MB and a little swap memory, but is unable to release the cdrom
