I would say try a netinstall of either gNewsense or Trisquel, since you are
looking for a Libre distro. Personally I like JWM (Joes Window Manager)as it
is much lighter than Openbox, Fluxbox and Icewm, uses around 1MB RAM even
after several hours of uptime. It is easy to configure as all of the config.
is in one XML file.
One word of caution, the default JWM, is really bland....ok, it is really
ugly! I can post a good config. if people are interested, similar to
Crunchbang setup.
PuppyLinux is a great option as it can run completely in RAM, from CD or USB,
however, it is not Libre, and most puppies come with FLASH and other little
nasties!!!
