I have set up a Dell GX260 with CentOS 5 so I think almost anything
you try will work. If it has 512 MB, I would try a light weight
desktop like Xubuntu or Mint Fluxbox edition. This is assuming you
want to use it as a desktop, not server.

On the GX260 I set up (2 GB) it runs a web server and bug tracker.
CentOS recognized every device on it. In other words, you don't
have to hunt for drivers like the old Windoze world.
