Which OS to use in a low spec laptop

[hsetima]

I have a very old toshiba laptop with 64mb ram and 8gb hard drive. Is there any operating system that I can load with these specifications. How about Xubuntu (please tell which version). I will only use this laptop as a music library.

Thanks in advance.........

Puppy linux, based on debian just like ubuntu but much smaller. 100% free. Should run on your system and looks much like windows xp.

To heavy of a OS, puppy linux would run much smoother

Sorry guys, i downloaded puppy linux from:
http://www.puppylinux.com/
After extracting the files I tried a lot to burn the file ISOLINUX (bin file) but was impossible. I used Nero, ImgBurn, and few other image burning programs. It did not work.
Am I downloading the right way? Please suggest...
