Totally subjective, but my vote goes to Conectiva.

I'd have to say RedHat, provided you don't try to use GNOME or something :-)

Gnome or KDE, especially the latest versions, can be very slow on older
machines. There isn't any hard rule, but I don't think running KDE2.2 on
less than 400mhz/128mb machines is very pleasant. I don't know at what ram
size they won't run at all, but on a 48mb machine, I did have to kick the
swap up to even get KDE1 to run, so it was doing a lot of paging.
Cuurently, I'm running 640mb, and never have seen swap in use. I don't
monitor it, just look occasionally, so it might be hitting it.
