Which distro is best for my laptop

[masterchief1995]

Hi I have been experimenting with a bunch of distros for my laptop and so far I have found debian is good, but I'm not liking it very much. I have tried openSUSE but the live CD hangs.

Dell Latitude CPx J series
128 MB of RAM
I think 6 MB video card
10 GB Hard Drive
CD Drive

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!:D
Prefer Gnome but am open to KDE and Xfce
and yes I have tried puppy linux and do not like it at all

Probably Puppy or DSL. I would put some more RAM in there as well.

I have tried these before and I do not like them but thanks for the suggestions. Are there any other ones?:D

try installing xubuntu with an alternate cd thats all i can say.
i had my dell inbspiron 3800 with xubuntu with
256mb of RAM,
8mb video card,
10gb hard drive (now 40gb)
dvd 24x /cd r/rw drive

and it worked great you just have to be REALLY carefull what you install

Lots of great advice in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575456

My personal recommendations for your computer are Puppy or DSL. Understand that your options are very limited with a computer that old. For example, I would not recommend Gnome or KDE at all. :)
