I have an old 400Mhz PII with 128MB of RAM and it's running Debian sarge w/ Fluxbox like a champ. The latest FreeBSD 6 would also probably be great for it too. I guess the main issue would be, what do use the laptop for?

What kind of ram does it take? I think that I have a bunch of old laptop ram sitting around that I would be willing to let you have if it is the right type. I need to check it out to make sure that I still have it and see what type it is. I would say Gentoo but that is because I recommend that to everybody. Ubuntu is probably a good choice. After Grant's recommendation I am going to try out BSD on mine due to my crappy ATI video card but you also might want to try one of the BSDs.
