1+ for CrunchBang. Have been using it for a year now on an intel Atom.
In the past I've run RedHat 6.0 on a similar spec'd machine, but that had
192MB RAM.
With DSL the experience is somewhat different (e.g. it is a single user

Dillo (it was never stable enough for me, and it takes you back to the 90's
in terms of browsing experience). Lupu is only slightly better.
