1. Wipe the hard drive and reinstall
2. Watch the machine move like a scalded hare

4. Watch as the machine becomes slower than molasses in an Arctic winter
5. GOTO 1
Unfortunately this seems to hold true for recent Linux distros too. I
remember using Slackware on a 486DX100 laptop (a Panasonic Toughbook no

obliterating ~/ ) every six months or so.
