Try *Ubuntu*, both a Live CD and Install CD images are available from:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/

You may request free Ubuntu CD's online at: http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org/

To install Ubuntu, you should have at least 32 MB of RAM, at least 1.8
GB space on your hard disk for a standard Ubuntu desktop system, or at
least 350 MB for a minimal custom installation.

I have not tested these fully as yet, but their Live CD is based on
Morphix, which again is based on Knoppix otherwise.

Hope that helps.
Good luck!
