boot a livecd of slitaz for speed. it will be faster than xubuntu, but i do like xubuntu. i have read than xubuntu's version of xfce actually uses slightly more memory than gnome, only because they modified it to have some gnome compatibilities -- otherwise xfce should be smaller and faster.

I did something similar to this, I put ubuntu server on my old pIII box and now it just sits there and runs torrents/serves files on my network
