Best distro for not so good laptop?

Comment:

Sorry guys, I know you must get alot of these :( It's just that i'm not too clued up on Linux, so I wasn't sure what was the bestest and easiest distro for my laptop, which ain't so good! The specs are 64mb, 2gb harddrive and just over 200 mhz. I'm not looking to do too much on it really, just run an internet talker. I'd pay for an online host, but, i'm not sure how popular it's going to be and I can't afford to waste money at the moment. Thanks in advance guys!
