I'd recommend 2007 based on the below. I put 2007.0 on my PII 233 last
fall. It does take a while, but it really didn't take that much longer
than my AMD64 build - though, I don't think I put KDE on it, which I did
on the AMD64. YMMV.

FYI - you can always upgrade the 2007 profile to 2008. I just did that
on my AMD64. And its a pretty smooth and slick process - I had always
rebuilt a box to change distros before (usually after a few years of use
and upgrades and not rebuilding just to change the distro either) so it
was a first for me. So don't be afraid to use the 2007.
