Downloaded SliTaz and first impression suggest that this could be a really

I hope it fulfils its promise. I'd be interested to hear how you get on
with it.

Had a lot of trouble putting Puppy on it, had to use an old build as the
latest would not go on.
That indicates a defect in Puppy not the laptop. I doubt you would have had
this trouble with Ubuntu 10.04 and with 512mb it would have run fine.

I recommend you have a look at SliTaz, http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/ .
The Cooking distribution has Audacity. I have installed SliTaz on an old
laptop with only 128Mb RAM and it was fine. The GUI is impressive for
its size and the package handling intuitive. SliTaz is under active
development.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) will run on this at a respectable speed. What you
might find is that after you've downloaded and installed updates it runs slow
