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 say go with Slackware or Debian. So far those have proven to be computer savers for me. I have a couple of really old laptops and desktops that I installed these distros on and they both run REALLY well.
Slackware is the fastest of the two IMHO, and my personal favourite. But Debian's apt-get is slowly spoiling me and I'm finding it to be a lovely treat to keep the system updated.
BTW: Debian isn't THAT out of date. Unstable and even Testing both have pretty updated versions of the two major DE's and xfce4 4.2 which has just been release can be installed with no problems from a thirdparty repo.
I love them both and recommend them whenever I can.
