DSL should run well. Just remember that you should have 128MB ram to really make it fly, and at the bare minmium 16MB ram.

i used to use knoppix on my 333mhz laptop (it has no harddrive) and it has 64mb ram but it loads stuff pretty slow. then i tried Klax on it and it's very nice and runs perfectly but i havn't found out if it can instal on the harddrive, i assume it can. i'd recomend klax over DSL cause klax has more stuff (it's around 300mb-350mb)
EDIT: here it is
again, i don't know if it can install on the hard drive, you'll have to figure that out
EDIT 2:huge list of linuxes!
EDIT 3:i know slax can install, try it. it also got the #1 vote on the huge list so you should definitely try it

I am going to try slax but i have one more question does it support the XircomÂ® 10/100 Network+Modem 56 PC Card Adapter (XEM5600).

most of the time, the only way to really tell if it will work or not is to try it
