The one I'm working on right now has 64 Mb of RAM, and a 1.8Gb HD. I have a bag of RAM I haven't looked through thourogly yet, I hope to have at least 128 Mb in it before I give it away. I'm still working out the best software combo at the moment, but here's where I'm at right now. I do a server install, since it's much smaller, and doesn't include OOo, Gnome etc. I then install xubuntu-desktop[*], which seems to work pretty well. Load time of programs is pretty bad, but once they're loaded, they runs fine. I've only tried running one program at a time. When you do the install, you probably want to manually adjust the partition sizes. the debian installer uses some formula that involves the amount of RAM to determine the swap partition size. The amount it decides on always seems too small to me, so I increase it.
