A machine of this spec. can be good & useful if you can put thoughts of KDE out of your mind.

My personal recommendations would be DamnSmallLinux (www.damnsmalllinux.org) which uses Fluxbox as the window manager; or Dynebolic (http://dynebolic.org/) which is a multimedia biased distro that runs Xfce as its desktop environment.

Both of the above distros are primarily live CDs but both install easily onto HD & both will work well with older hardware.

I hope this helps.

Gavin.
