A lightweight windowmanager would certainly help, just

lightweight applications (i.e. not Mozilla, but dillo or somesuch).
There are several "minimal" GNU/Linux distros that feature such
lightweight apps.
DeLi might give some insights here:

It is a "Desktop Light" Linux distribution.
I am administrating an old Pentium I 233 with 64Gb RAM used for Internet
Access only. Running WindowMaker with Mozilla is no problem. Loading
time for Mozilla: ~8sec (honestly). The 1.7 series are much faster than
the <= 1.6 ones.
Dillo is also fine and amazing for its size. But it doesn't have Frames,
SSL and so on.
