Every Linux Distro I have tried runs great on it. I would suggest Mint (essentially Ubuntu with a more comprehensive Windows like UI) or Puppy Linux http://www.linuxmint.com/ http://puppylinux.org/main/index.php?file=Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm Ubuntu is also good and can be installed from Windows http://wubi-installer.org/ Mandriva is also user friendly - Mint is the most User Friendly. I don't know if the touchscreen will be supported but both distro use the latest stable kernel. You can always take the distro chooser test. http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/ I have a similar spec’d computer (Single Core Pentium M 720 1.4Ghz) but it has 2GB of RAM.
