This is the one I would use, but I never had a chance:

We have two old machines sitting around the office (both are something like Pentium 200 MHz with 64 MB of RAM) and we have a visitor for a few months with no computer to use at the moment. I'd like to make one of those a useful terminal, probably just something that could run X so the user could ssh to another machine and run programs on the remote machine. Is anyone aware of a good (preferably easy to setup and manage) distro for what I want that will work on that sort of hardware?

I'm not sure if this is exactly what people mean when they say "thin client", but I thought that was the right direction, so I did some looking. I found, for example, ThinStation

http://thinstation.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ThIndex

which looks like it might work. I'm wondering if any of you have tried doing something like this and have suggestions as to a best bet. As I said, ease is a pretty big priority here, so a fairly ready-made solution is what I'm seeking.
