Hi Jim,
Lightest thing I've ever used is Debian network install, core only, no
X, no servers, and then:
apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
I got that running in 128MB of RAM, and it performed pretty well in
256MB.
What I like about it is, because it's a Debian type packaging system, I
can get any piece of software I really, really need, while keeping
everything else to a minimum.
Thanks
