I have a Pentium 4 laptop with 512 MB RAM and 80 GB drive. I'd like a fast and lightweight Linux on it. Web browsing is about all it will be doing.
Recommendations?
Web browsing with elinks, you mean? :)

Puppy Linux runs from a wee CD image, and if I recall correctly, copies everything into RAM on startup. Fast and pretty light, and the hard drive is optional.
