Did you get any chance to try out your usability theory befor the machine gave out?
To be frank, with a machine that fast I ran puppy linux with X- server and some GTK apps quite happily.
I even made a remaster of it for all my other low end machines.

I was running a Pentium MMX, 267MHz, 64MB RAM, 4GB HDD notebook for a while. It was Debian (Sarge?) by that time with a 2.4 Kernel and Fluxbox (just to run a xterm window) and screen. I could play music and podcast but that machine was way too slow for video. For webbrowsing I used ELinks and Dillo, and Mutt for Mail. It was a lot of fun with that formerly windows 98 machine.
