1. SLAX The Slax distro is based on Slackware and like most small Slackware Distros, make for fast, solid operating systems for low-end machines. Slax is a bit heavy and is probably best suited for medium-level hardware. Its only major downfall is it's lack of security updates. However new releases come out fairly often and it's novice friendly.
2. Puppy Linux: Puppy Linux is a really easy to use mini-Linux which does a good job of balancing performance with ease of use. Puppy comes with a very easy to use GUI and boots into a 64MB ramdisk, and that's it, the whole OS runs in RAM. Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device, CDROM, Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk, floppy disks, internal hard drive. It can even use a multisession formatted CD-R/DVD-R to save everything back to the CD/DVD with no hard drive required at all!
3. Damn Small Linux (DSL): Damn Small Linux is a 50MB live CD Linux distribution. Because all the applications are small and light it makes a very good choice for older hardware. The downfall of DSL is, it has been a while since a new release came out. This makes DSL, a bit behind the times but I'd recommend DSL if you have really old hardware and have used Linux a little before.
