I tried Peanut Linux for an even older PC. While it worked, I found that Slackware ran just fine and gave me more.

I have used Knoppix as a demo for several folks and it works in every comp so far. Even worked on one with a totally dead hard drive, drive would not even spin. It d/ls as an iso and you burn it just like Mandrake. It is a single disk OS based on debian so it is a bit different than Mandrake but not that much.

1) d/l http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/peanut/current/iso/small.iso 2) Toss a blank CD in your burner. 3) Figure out the dev number of your burner with "cdrecord -scanbus". It's the three numbers separated by commas. 4) On the commandline type "cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=8 -v -dao small.iso" where 0,0,0 is the dev number of your burner. Boot to it.
