In my never ending search for the ultimate challenge, I decided to remove Gentoo Linux from my trusty laptop and install something else that wasn't as resource starving. Thus, Debian was selected.

I would go for Mandrake 10.1-Official if you are not willing to configure/maintain the machine yourself, and Arch Linux if you are willing to do the initial few-hours configurations to bring the machine's permissions to a satisfiable degree for a normal user.
Just make sure the machine has more than 128 MBs of RAM, because otherwise, distros like Fedora, SuSE or Mdk are really slow on low RAM. Arch, Slackware or Debian are borderline slow with 128 MBs. Below that (e.g. 64 MBs), I suggest you stay with Windows 98SE or WinME.
