I have Xubuntu running on an IBM Thinkpad 600E (p2 400 128 MB RAM) and 
it is very functional.  Previously, I tried Ubuntu Hoary and Breezy but 
they were sluggish.

Firefox works very well and Abiword opens much faster than OO Writer 
does on a higher spec PC running Breezy.

I am very happy with Xubuntu on this laptop.
