Puppy might be good too. It runs entirely from RAM, rather like a VM, so 
it is very slick even on old hardware, and 340mb RAM is enough (that's 
how much my very old laptop has, and it runs fine there, and doesn't 
need much CPU either). It's based on Ubuntu tho much pared down, with 
JWM as the default desktop.

Also there are a lot of flavors of Puppy (over 500 last I checked). So 
there's one for everything. Some are maintained.
