128 mb ram is very less for a ubuntu distro. |

Xubuntu is the one you want. The laptop will work ok for emails and word processing, if a little bit slow. YouTube videos would be a bit choppy. |

One distribution made for older computers with small amounts of RAM is AntiX Linux. It's an offshoot of Mepis Linux. You can learn more about it at this link: http://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Main_Page |

I run PuppyLinux 4.3.1 on an old Dell Latitude 266 with only 128 MB. It is very fast, and should be quite useful for your general purposes. The installation is a little quirky if you're used to Debian or Fedora or other mainstream distros, but I'm betting its about the only thing that'll really run well on your old NEC. The installation process is pretty well documented at the site. SliTaz is another small distro that you might like, butI had some issues with sound and video on my old Dell, and Puppy was easier for me. |

you could use DSL (Damn Small Linux), It's functional enough for the computer and I have used it on my girlfriends IBM Japanese laptop with only 64mb ram |
