  I really would suggest the newest version of slackware (10.2). I
currently have it running on a 233mhz with 92mb of ram. This is my
file server and it works just fine for me. Since you have a beefier
machine than mine I do not think that you will have any problems. Also
I have ran a PCI TNT2 card with this distro, with X, and fluxbox and
it runs smooth. For updates I use a program called swaret (kinda like
apt) or you could use slapt-get. Let me know if you need any help and
good luck. Also the installer is not hard to use...its very straight
forward.
