What is a good Linux distro to run on an older touchscreen notebook?

I have an old Fujitsu Lifebook B series (B3020D) notebook with a touchscreen. Is there a good Linux distribution to use with this machine?What is a good Linux distro to run on an older touchscreen notebook?
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 7 XFCE which is ideally suited to older Hardware

I have a similar spec'd computer (Single Core Pentium M 720 1.4Ghz) but it has 2GB of RAM. 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

Ubuntu is also good and can be installed from Windows

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.
