opinion on what to put on this computer

i bought an old ibm thinkpad 240

333mhz cpu
192 mb of sdram
6gb hd

it came with windows98 on it.
Do you guys think a version of linux will run faster on it than windows 98?

Faster? Probably not... Linux GUI's are typically slower than Windows, but more stable and have better support? Absolutely.

Give Damn Small Linux a shot.
