Here [1][2][3] are lists of some lightweight Linux distrubtions. Some things to consider beyond being lightweight is how well maintained and patched they are. Some of them list their package versions so I would check what versions of the Linux Kernel, browsers, music players and chat clients they provide via their latest updates. I'm not listing my preference because it changes often.
Mint has come up here a few times and I like the concept of the LMDE Mint [4] but it may be worth looking at their forums and IRC logs as there has been some toxic community behavior in the past and I do not know if that has been resolved. This can put a distribution at risk of losing contributors.
