Linux on older laptops

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

Try Mepis.  You can choose reiser at install and all those other items
are in the distro or avail. via apt-get or a GUI pool that accesses the
repository.
In fact the only thing you will have to add on your own from your list
is Opera and it is a breeze.

Hi All,

This should start a raging debate!
Are there any opinions regarding a good choice of distro for an older
laptop?
Thinkpad T22 w/384MB ram and Thinkpad T23 w/512MB ram.
My only priorities are quick boot times, wireless support, firefox or
opera 
web browsers and a decent word processor that can save files in .doc
format. 
I've considered DSL, but would prefer reiserfs support.

Thanks,
Curt
