[PLUG] Small distros for older machines

Most modern distros want >256M of RAM and a P4 class computer.
Some people are still using ancient distros because their computers
are incapable of running newer versions.  Often, the ancient
distros do not get security upgrades, so the old machines get
hijacked.  I could use some suggested alternatives for these
people.

What are some decent distros with active security updating that 
still provide a decent user experience (static page browser,
pdf, email, word processing) on older machines?

What works with 128M?
What works with  64M?
What works with  32M?
