Distro reviews for older hardware

<p>I am getting an old laptop running. On my newer or desktop systems I use ubuntu or kubuntu. But for this machine (750MHz PIII, 512 M ram, 1280x1024 display with ATI rage graphics) the ubuntu derivatives fell big, heavy and slow.</p> <p>Would you please point me to some in depth review of distros running on this class of hardware?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Minimal_Linux_distros" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is an undated list of lightweight Linux distributions. Does anybody have recent in depth <em>reviews</em> of any of these?</p>
