You can see from the above that CD1&2 are a must. If you plan on KDE/KDEi then CD3 should be downloaded. You can use the torrents or http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/.

It depends on what you want to do with it.

I find that firefox uses too much memory/processing to work on that old of a machine... I'm running a Pentium3 laptop with 256mb ram. Needless to say, I've been doing everything from the console. However, fluxbox and simple gui apps seem to work fine.

I've got an IBM A22m Thinkpad running Slackware 13.1. It's a Pentium III - 1 GHz with 512 MB of RAM. It runs very nicely with the stock KDE 4.4.

I have 1.6GHz Pentium M with 384MB RAM. I find it runs smoothly.
When I used an older system, I would build Midori for browsing. I use Claws Mail for email.
