You can try Belenix on it. It has all of the browsing+chat+etc and comes with KDE and xfce. the latter would be better for 256m RAM. It could possible be installed on the flash disk as a LiveUSB, but that might take some hacking. that would take up only 700mb. Or it could be installed as a hard disk install and that would take around 1.6-1.7 gb. pkg-get is on the latest version so you can use blastwave to get software. There is work underway to allow saving back of data to the USB, you might have to wait for a month or so.
