If you want speed, it's hard to go wrong with Slackware, Arch, or
Debian, avoiding KDE and Gnome both. Several Slackware derivatives
(Zenwalk, Vector, & Salix) make Slackware a little easier to use. The
same is true for Arch (Manjaro & ArchBang). If you want to stay with
something more like Ubuntu, but lightweight, go with my earlier
suggestion of Bodhi Linux; it's based on Ubuntu but uses the
Enlightenment window manager, which looks very nice.
