Why don't you give the Ubuntu Netbook a try anyway, what do you have to lose? Might even surprise everyone.
I mean, the worst that it can do is...not load, not run, and you'd just reboot out anyway. Try running the Live-CD in demo mode first, cause if it runs there, it SHOULD be able to run native.
Are you joking?

Ubuntu Netbook Remix should run reasonably well on a computer with the following minimum hardware specification.
* 700 MHz x86 processor
* 384 MB of system memory (RAM)
* 6 GB of disk space
If the laptop isn't going to be used for too terribly much I'd look at browswerlinux. It's based on puppy, comes with a FF+flash and various media players. Useful for web usage.
