Hi,
Welcome to LQ! If you want something to perform on that machine then I suggest you bump the memory as much as you can. That class of memory is not that expensive for the performance gain you will get. Quote:

Not satisfied...
Your choices of workable distributions increases with any increase in the amount of RAM installed in your system, and adds to the likelihood that your satisfaction will increase thereafter. |
Slitaz and Tiny Core Linux just might be able to give you a decent experience for a system with only 128 MB of memory. The current Slitaz stable release is only 30 MB. Tiny Core is even smaller but I don't think it comes with a web browser by default, but you can install a web browser through their package manager. If you try either of the two, please post your experience back to this thread - I'm curious to know.

Try debian minimal. Do a netinst and install LXDE or fluxbox/openbox or any wm for a lightweight system.
