We don't have for now the requierement needed for Lubuntu, because some
components are still in developpement.
However, I done some testing on Karmic + LXDE/Lubuntu packages updated from
Lucid + some adjustements, and a session start with 50-60 Mo, according to the
taskmanager. So in your case,
FeatherLinux, DSL, Puppy all work great on old rigs

You are right, that's why I said it's only OK for old PCs. And usually,
people won't use modern devices for such PCs. Indeed, 2.6 kernel
supports much more, but the quality of the code is falling since the
2.4->2.6 transition. I hope the upstream AND the kernel policy will
change. Since if they pro
You can use Puppy Linux, DSL, TCL (as someone already mentioned), Deli
or whatever. But one can even build a
distro easily from Ubuntu packages. If there is a need, I can create a
demo VMware image or something.
One can use the DW search:

Select "Old computers".
I would go with Deli Linux with those specs

distributions that can really work well with old (I mean REALLY old)
systems. The issue is that they're really complicated for daily use. One
good one. TinyCore linux would work amazingly well on it, but it's not for

Hello Eduard Gotwig,
This is much too under-powered for any distribution based on Ubuntu, as

Hello!
In my opinion, Lubuntu 10.04 won't be 100% usable on such PC. Why? It's
lightweight for sure, the whole dev teams try to makes it as light as
possible. But the base is still built from Ubuntu, which is not that
lightweight. This means, the team got its limit.
It would be possible to create
