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.

If older hardware is concerned, I'd go for NetBSD 2.0 or FreeBSD 5.x/4.x of the BSD's, and Linux, well any binary distribution built for i386, that in case "older" is really old, i.e. <i686 (PIII, Athlon).
I would second that NetBSD smokes on older hardware although you would have to fiddle with it a bit to get a dekstop system running on it. I personally prefer Suse Personal for desktop use it seems cleaner.
