on a laptop that old you might want to have a look at xubuntu.

also, if you get weird sticky key problems when you do get compiz working on the desktop, make sure your keyboard is set to the right layout and increase the delay before key repeat a little bit. it seems to be a really common problem.

Actually I'm using Kubuntu -- I like KDE. And I tested KDE against XFCE earlier this year and found that once I loaded all the apps I want, KDE actually uses less memory than XFCE. (But now I have 512MB of memory so it shouldn't be much of an issue anyway.)

I'll keep the keyboard tips in mind, thanks!
