I use Lubuntu on old netbooks here.  Works well.

Yep all of those are working.

I can't comment on Steam (I don't use it), but there's a number of RDP clients
for Linux, whatever distro you choose.  Oh, and I have SyncTerm and Multimail
running on my main roaming netbook. :)

Should be straightforward, but in general, netbooks are better suited tp simple
terminal duties.  I find my Firefox configuration tends to bog the machine
down, same for Thunderbird.
