TinyMe a stripped down PCLOS distro or Puppy Linux.

Ubuntu without the pretty eye candy runs quite well in low-end machines.

if you still have doubts, you can try xubuntu, it's designed for older pcs.

PCLinuxOS is another good choice for low end hardware I was running it on a PIII laptop with no problems, the only thing I had trouble configuring was the addon WiFi card but that wasn't a major, it works very well for what you need.

I would also suggest trying Xubuntu. It's lighter than Ubuntu but still looks nice by default and has a lot of Ubuntu's features.
