[Hampshire] Linux on machines with small RAM

A friend of mine's just bought an old laptop[1] for his kids to use and
wants to install Linux on it. It's only got 64M of RAM and a 6G hard
drive.

Does anyone have experience of [relatively] modern Linuxes that are
targeted at low-spec/old hardware and can make a recommendation?
