I'd say DSL with that small an amount of RAM.

However, you should have a look on Ebay and see if you can find it some more
RAM, for 10 quid you can probably upgrade to 256Mb RAM and at that point you
could run pretty much any Linux Distro.

You didn't say what the screen resolution was, but that's probably a more
limiting factor in running a GUI than the RAM or processor speed.

regards,

Colin
