Hi Norman
There's an article in issue 88 of Full Circle magazine (page 15) about
creating a minimal Ubuntu desktop. Might be worth a look:

Windows XP shipped to OEMs in 2001 and the public in 2002. This PC
probably predates the 21st century.
It *maxes out* at 96MB RAM:

You can forget any current distro on it. It's even older than I
thought with my previous comment. It might *just about* run DSL.
My old laptop (OEM Vista) now struggles with modern Ubuntu, but runs
Crunchbang #! fine, the light weight Openbox enviroment suits my needs
fine (the lack of pointy-clicky stuff suits that machine's dodgy
touchpad :) )
If you miss the mouse you can add a dock to it no problem (I tried cairo
dock for a while but just didn't use it in the end)
Takes a bit of getting used to but being Debian based helps alot!
Might be too much for such an old laptop though.
I have a friend with an ancient (pre XP) toshiba laptop who runs LXLE on
it just about usably !
Happy hunting
