What is the best linux distribution for this computer?

Emachines T184


intel celeron 1.8 GHz processor


126 mb of ram





I already tried xubuntu (ran slow)


and Damn Small Linux (Colors were distorted and grain because of my intel chipset)


So don't recommend either of those

What is the best linux distribution for this computer?
Have tried PuppyLinux before?

When I said it required 128 MB of RAM, I wasn't being exactly clear. What Puppy does is loads itself, most of the contents of the CD, into RAM, so that they are faster and don't have to be loaded from the CD. The interface is designed to be somewhat similar to Windows 95. I've never installed it to a hard drive, but it should be possible, and from there it would be even faster.

Reply:You can also look at Linspire
Reply:Zenwalk or Saxenos are two of my favs. they will run on a lot of hardware faster than debian based or Redhat based just at times a slighter higher learning curve if you are a newbie
