Archlinux is lightweight and totally customizable, after running through the installation you have a very basic os with no xorg or anything fancy, you install that all manually and can choose any window manager you choose, I prefer open box on a system thats basically just to be used for the web.
All sounds complicated but it's not too hard if you can follow the beginners guide in the wiki.
I had this running on a duron 1100 with 256MB and a Radeon 9200SE, worked fine for iPlayer with proprietary graphics drivers and could watch youtube vids even using a generic framebuffer (only way I could get TV-out to work).

edit: there's an article in their wiki on installing on an Acer Aspire One.
