I used Puppy Linux for my desktop for the last few weeks and I can say I'm 
very happy with it.  This is a new system not an old one so I don't know 
about performance issues on old systems.  

It's made to fit on a 128M flash drive but I had it installed on a 512M usb 
drive until my hard drives arrived.  It is now installed as my boot manager 
on the hard drive.  I have both grub and puppy managing all the other OSes on 
the system.

It has basic apps like seamonkey, paint, multimedia, network, and package 
management where you can add more.  It even plays encyrpted DVDs--which is 
more than I can say for k/ubuntu out of the box!
