I remember reading about elive, and in all honesty using normal Debian
would be easier.

I don't see how you can actually have a distro made for older PCs,
especially when it comes to Debian. You're better off just doing a
base install, then installing xorg/xdm/windowmanager and whatever else
you need (i.e. Iceweasel, Gaim, Pcmanfm).
