I've got an older dell inspiron that's working great w/ debian sarge +
xfce4... caveat: some of the crappy laptops of this line can't run full
screen in plain text mode, but x and everything else works fine...

Subject: [RLUG] Distro recommendation for Laptop?
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 08:59:28 -0700
I have an older Dell Inspirion that just puked its Windows XP installation.
Surprise, surprise. I booted it a few months ago and it was fine. Tried to
boot it last week to make sure it was ready to take on a trip to the bay
area and it was dead. XP just reboots itself.
Its a P3 1ghz with 384MB RAM and a 20GB hard drive. I run FC5 at home and
work, but I doubt it'd survive well on this older hardware. Any suggestions
for a distro it would be happy with?
Thanks!
