I'd personally use Puppy or Damn-Small on a machine like that. Both ISO's are less than 100MB so it shouldn't take long to download either.

You could also try Xubuntu or Fluxbuntu.

It booted just now after an excruciatingly long wait at a brown screen with just the cursor to amuse me. And it still doesn't have support for sound; the videos play just damn fine, the sound is absent.
Luckily however, I just remembered Puppy 4.2.1 includes MPlayer with all codecs.
Will try and see how it works out. Thanks for your help.

Edit: @SerenityKiller: I tried Xubuntu, just remembered Puppy a second before I read your post. Damn Small didn't work properly. Thanks!

Glad you got it sorted, thanks for the rep, even though I kind of recommended the wrong distro

rep is for members who help people.
I guess I'm rather too generous.

Not against the ToS if it's a legal torrent (which this is)

Update: After 16 minutes of downloading, I burned Puppy Linux to a CD and booted the laptop, it gets stuck at
Code:
Loading kernel drivers to access disk drives...
and the CD-ROM spins down.
Now trying DSL-N 0.1 RC4.

Update 2: After a few minutes of burning DSL-N 0.1 RC4 onto CD, I booted the laptop and it gets stuck at:
Code:

Disabling IRQ #15...
*sigh*, now trying DSL 4.4.1.0 since it has MPlayer...

Update 3: Burned DSL to CD, started, successfully booted completely in RAM, but doesn't play video. :
Now looking for chainsaw and more distros...
