I would recommend an old Puppy Linux, version 4.12 (Linux ver 2.6.25). It
should work in 128Mb; later versions insist on 512Mb.  It can provide a full
GUI as it's designed for a community of dumb users with old laptops.

I can send you the .ISO (~98Mb) if you can't find it.  Netmail me.

Cheers,
Paul.
