Tho it was me using DSL at EGLUG the other month, it was Gavin with  
the impressively old but still useable laptop :o)

Based on my current laptop, which is a bit slow & old and is running  
Xubuntu, I'd say DSL - you could load the whole thing into RAM and get  
very fast performance compared to Xubuntu, which while being a  
lightweight is nowhere near as "featherweight" as DSL..
