Thanks for the responses.

The problem is that none of these distros seem to do what I'm looking 
for (out of the box).  I'm sure I could configure it, but time is the 
lacking factor at the moment.  I can't even find 'add-on' interfaces 
that do this on top of other WMs.

Performance on old hardware is nice, but the interface is my main concern.

I want it to start up and go straight to a few big icons in the middle 
of the screen.  No drop down (or pullup) menu, desktop switcher, 
calendar in the corner, and I do want it locked down (e.g. root can change).

The eeePC interface was quite close to what I imagined (but even still a 
bit cluttered).  Screen resolution & size on the eeePC is not great, but 
the user's eyesight is good, and the form factor is actually a plus in 
this regard.

I'll keep looking...

cheers
