A great deal of the Linux Distros are becoming too heavy.
Which is the lightest and offer the most in
terms of scalability, support and deployment in anyones' opinion?
Debian + LXDE, I think. Debian support (almost) every arch. And LXDE is
one of the lightest DE.

I use LTSP-PNP (Ubuntu 12.04 + LXDE). Here is something about DEs, same
laptop as a fat client, memory 1 GB.

Aiming for a light, capable, well-supported balance, I've been working
with Lubuntu + LTSP and now LTSP-PNP. At the performance level, this
choice was not based on any systematic benchmarking but on some
selective testing. I would be interested in knowing if someone has
compared that to another contender like Debian + LTSP.
I also looked at Alt Linux. I did not find any distro with lower memory
requirements than this. But development has been patchy, and when I
looked at it 6 months ago it needed a big push to become current again,
and it would also need more language support for development work. (A
lot of the documentation and a bit of the interface is in Russian,
though Michael Shigorin, one of the pillars of that project, has
excellent English).
