Based on my specs (800 MHz CPU and 128 MB RAM) and [1], I still should be
able to operate GNOME and some of the apps. However even opening gedit
brings the system to crawl which is so surprising. I will add some swap and
see if that makes a difference although I am not counting on it based on my
past expereince.

Except that Gnome 2.0.2 is really, *really* old. Ubuntu 9.04 on a
laptop with an 1800MHz CPU and 256MB RAM is dog slow.
It's all about the RAM, really.
