another few to look at:

DeLi Linux
http://www.delilinux.de/

made for older/slower computers.


antiX
http://antix.mepis.org/

It is designed to work on computers with as little as 64 MB RAM/PII 
processor and uses IceWM or Fluxbox as its window managers


Salix (LXDE Edition)
http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/Home

It features the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, the lightweight & 
fast PCManFM file manager, and the popular Openbox window manager.


I use the latter two a reasonable bit.
