Why, Gentoo of course, but then again I run Gentoo on everything I can 
get my hands on (or used to).

If you are limited to 1GiB RAM - and I have been before - you may be a 
bit swap-dependent; I'd encourage putting swap on its own drive and that 
drive on its own IDE controller; might want to test out any loose drives 
you have lying around with bonnie++ and seeing which ones do random 
read-writes the fastest.
