Re: Minimal operating system requirements
Puppy Linux might be a good option if you want easy to use, but least amount of work.
If you're ok with a little more initial work, you could try Slackware or Arch Linux. FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD should run on low spec machines fairly well, but could be harder than some forms of Linux.
Specifically for low spec machines, I'd personally try either Arch Linux or one of the *BSDs. However, these would require more configuration on your part (which is why I recommend saving any configuration files you write for Linux or other Unix-like operating systems).
