Pentium II is old indeed. Whenever using old processors, it is important to  
test if the new kernel will still support them.

As long as you stay on the CLI I do not expect there to be a major  
performance degradation from the upgrade.

I am running Debian 10 on an old laptop (Acer TravelMate 210) with 128 MiB  
of RAM and 700 MHz Intel Celeron (?) and it is slow even on commandline use  
with "heavy" applications like vim or maxima. Other tools, like sc-im run  
quickly enough, though...
