How 'bout i-OS? 
Don't know if you can get it to work though... you will probably get it to work on a 486 or so. It doesn't support AGP or PCI-e yet

Well you could try Longhorn 3683 or 4015 on your machine. I'd talk you through tweaking the whole thing and then you have to use it for everything

Ok so far Suse and Ubuntu are tied. @Sphere I wouldn't mind if you helped me sometime with installing Gentoo. As I have always wanted to install it

If you have a broadband connection, and a direct connection (no router or so), I can even install it for you!
From your list, I'd go for Fedora 5 btw
