If Xubuntu doesn't work out or is too heavy, you might look at SLAX.   
The v6 release candidate is pretty good, though the lack of a package  
manager is driving me moderately nuts.

Mixing new and old hardware and kernels can also be frustrating.  I  
have a Compaq server here I just took out of mothballs and it's  
running RedHat 6.2 just fine, but apparently the 2.6 kernel doesn't  
support its memory controller at all.  Maybe DSL would do it - thanks  
for the reminder :)
