just remember, light weight == reduced features

You probably only need to go light weight on the desktop
environment/window manager, not the whole distro.    Do a minimum
install of your favorite distro, then instead of Gnome or KDE, use
something like iceWM or fluxbox.  Your session manager (where you login)
will automatically let you choose among the installed window managers.

Ubunutu provides many window managers.  Check out:
