Hi,

  We are planning to put linux on our old systems where 
our marketting people work extensively on 

* browsers
* $M Word
* $M Excel
* $M PowerPoint
* $M Outlook Express

System conf
-----------------
old cyrex guess its should be in the 
range of 200 to 400 Mhz
with 32 to 64 MB RAM.
running on WinNT

Now they challenged me that Linux 
OpenOffice, Browsers cant run faster then their Windoze speed.
I would like to take this as a challenge and want to install
a flavour of linux which works bit faster then Windoze with
that configuration.

Any suggestion hints would be very helpful to get me
equiped beforehand.  

Should i try 6.2 version of linux(Redhat).

Have a great day.
