There is an old Dell Latitude laptop with specs as below which I chose to for this purpose: Mobile Pentium4: 1.8GHz CPU Speed: 1.8GHz Level 2 Cache: 512KB System Memory: 256MB Video Memory: 32MB Hard Drive: 40GBSince you've got only 256MB of system memory, I recommend you use a lightweight desktop such as LXDE.
A lightweight window manager that would be a smooth transition for those familiar with Windows 95/98 vintage OS's would be JWM, aka Joe's Window Manager.
