Try Slackware 13.37. Works great on my Tochiba Satellite.
D/L the ISO from slackware.com or a mirror.

I use blackbox 0.65. Don't like the behaviour of later versions.
XFCE comes in the ISO. So does KDE 4.<sumpin>, but it's buggy:
don't use it.

Gnome's not part of the distro. If you want it, go to slackbuilds.org.
