Best OpenOffice+Firefox Linux distro for AAO 10" 8GB SSD 512

[mf50]

Greetings,

I have an Acer Aspire one 10", 8GB SSD 512 MB RAM and would like to try some other Linux distro on it.

My requirements are simply:

- run Firefox, skype and OpenOffice on it, the newest possible stable versions
- as light as possible on CPU and RAM
- out of the box complete support for ALL the hardware (sound, webcam, X, wifi...)
- actively maintained
- good package manager (I prefer yum/rpm, but even apt/deb is OK, really)

I don't really care for the GUI (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, whatever) and I don't really need any other specific application but those listed above. So, what would you recommend in this case?

TIA for any feedback,
M.

Recommendations (in no particular order): Fedora LXDE spin or Lubuntu (Ubuntu with LXDE).
You'll probably want to get rid of unneeded packages in either case.

Hi

The Fluxbox version of Mint Linux is very very quick, I've been playing with it for a while and it's very very good
