Laptops :: DSL a good distro choice for an old laptop?

I'm looking for a nice lightweight distro to install on a couple of old laptops I have. Is DSL a good choice for this? One of these machines is a 133MHz Pentium with maybe 96MB of RAM. How will I fare with DSL on this? Is there a better "lightweight" distribution for this purpose? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

DSL is ideal for such a system.

96MB of RAM is more than enough for DSL.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

I have a 133Mhz laptop with 32Meg RAM..it gets boggy at times...however with 96Meg it should smoke!!!

I would recommend a frugal HD install...you will be pleasantly pleased

I have a 233MHz laptop with 48MB ram. DSL was the best distro I could find for it, and I tried a few of the others. You may like to try them out though - puppy and libranet looked like they might be good - but I felt that DSL wiped the floor with them for my laptop.
