I fully expect any distro will work just fine on it. The first laptop I ever had was: PII 350MHz 256MB or SDRAM (100MHz FSB) 10GB HDD 800x600 Active Matrix display It ran Debian fine and was a great little job. With specs like yours, you don't need to go for a "specialised low-end" distro - your hardware is hardly low-end!
