WattOS

WattOS is a new Linux distribution tool that's based on Ubuntu, but designed for underpowered machines. It has low system requirements, which means you can run it on older hardware. But the developers are also hoping to build advanced power management features into the OS so that you'll have a full Linux desktop experience without consuming much power (by today's computer standards). http://www.downloadsquad.com
