Recently, I got my hands on version 0.2 of Cobind, a Linux lite desktop, based on Red Hat/Fedora Core 1, from a software company in Pittsburgh. Not yet in general release, Cobind is a one disc wonder.

Adya: I know I might get lots of complains but the best thing to do with such old machine would be to install Win98+AVG Free Antivirus & you have a very usable & fast system. Oops, I meant install Win 95.
For an even more usable and fast system, install Win98SE, ROM IIse or 98lite, and H+BDEV AntiVir.
Win98SE has much better driver support and is more powerful, and can be made to use Win95-level resources with ROM IIse or 98lite (they also get rid of Outlook Express). You should reinstall IE 5.5 if you want to access Windows Update, but since it doesn't integrate into Windows Explorer it only uses resources when it's running. If you prefer you can install another less resource-intensive web browser to be the primary.
I've found H+BDEV AntiVir to be more stable and less system-intrusive than AVG, and the price is the same, free (see http://www.free-av.com/ ).
