Celerons are cut-down pentium IIIs, so any x86 distro will work.
(Pentium III is i686)

In fact, it may be possible that some of the newer ones are cut-down P4s.
Not sure if cut-down PIIs were called celeron too, but either way, they're
all i686 (and the minimum 32bit intel for some distros is i586 AFAIC. Most
compile for i386, but some, like mandrake compile and optimise for 586)
