which linux disto for a really old and dusty pc?

i have just dug up a really old, (64MB-120mhz-4GB) pc from my heap of junk in my computer room, i installed various windows os' on this but its runs to slowly for 2000pro, so i didnt want to install 98se so i thought id try a few linux distros, i installed ubuntu, but this was slower than 2000, i heard that yellowdog is for slower machines is this correct? i just want this pc for web browsing nothing else, what is the lightest linux os available, free preferabley, thankyou..... :major i-CONICA :major

There are a few that i have heard of that are good for your situation, (havent tried them myself) one called "Puppy" and "Damn Small"
I, of course, could be wrong..
anyone else care to shed some light on this one. im interested myself...works getting ready to toss some old comps. out and would like to try this as well...

 

Im only familiar with cutting and bleeding edge distros...sorry

 

This is ubuntu with XFCE engine.

DSL is very small so it should work well on a vintage machine. I know I can boot their Live CD (only 50 MB) to a GUI on an old HP dual Pro200 machine I have and it seems to run well other then the slow seek time on the CD.
