The best linux distribution for an older computer

What is the best linux distribution for an older computer?

Something like Ubuntu or Debian would work fine.

Gnome is another popular choice:

Puppy Linix runs only in RAM, that might be a good choice for an older computer with a slower processor:

Another good distro for a slower computer is VectorLinux. I have seen it run on much slower PC's than yours:

I used Debian and a preseed file to create a nice computer with modern features (like removable drive support, Mp3 codecs, and DVD decoding). You can find the information here: http://sites.google.com/a/ibeentoubuntu.com/debian-preeseds/Home/ancient-desktop
