[plug] What distro for old laptop?

I have an Acer laptop purchased new in '98 which only has 32MB ram and nil prospect of getting more.  Will any recent distro work, or do I have to dredge up RH 7.0 or some such?  The ones I have tried using kernel 2.4.? work, but spend most of the time thrashing.

Floppies are not an option (I fried the controller) but it will boot from CD.

TIA
Jim
