For WM or Distro? Distro wise go with ubuntu or mandrake if you're a beginner (of course thats hearsay, I've only ever used Gentoo).  WM is based soley on preference,  I myself like fvwm.

Ubuntu has a nice install and is extremely easy to keep upto date and install new programs since it uses apt-get. I don't much care for Mandriva or whatever they changed the name too.

Computers are as fast as you make them, or clock them, the operating system usually has little to do with the speed.

My PC:
Athlon XP 2600 at 2800, 2.05ghz
768mb PC3200 DDR RAM (1*512, 1*256)
80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM
ATI Sapphire 9200se (I think, its £30, so dont get excited) 128MB
Some dodgy soundcard I riped form another PC
PC Chips M848ALU
Floppy Drive (God knows if it works??)
Samsung CDRW OEM
Modded Case, Fan Cooled (7 Fans)

Old beige 15" monitor, with some funky purple glow in the bottom left hand corner.

Beige Speakers (Utter balls, but I'm making some others)

Running Mandrake Linux 10.1 + Windows XP Home SP2 (OEM)

the OS has a huge amount to do with it....think about it, if you ask it to draw command lines only on the screen, it has very little to do, but if you want a full colour desktop with pics everywhere then it has to think alot harder. OS has nothing to do with it ....hmm, so why is it they have minimum specs....hmm
