With that RAM, try Xubuntu Alternate CD (still 128MB is recommended). Or even with this distro, your laptop would probably lag. Another option would be, like what you said: Puppy.

I don't get your comment about DSL.

If there is a problem with that, BasicLinux might fit http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/
