I'd check Crucial - we upgraded our Dell from 64MB to 192MB with a
module from Crucial, very reasonably priced. As for distro, we run
XUbuntu on our laptop. It has a 400MHz Celeron, and was usable with
64MB, although it's much faster with 192MB.
XUbuntu is basically Ubuntu, but with XFCE for the desktop, which is
much lighter than GNOME or KDE. I like it, but I hate the file
manager, so I ended up installing another one (can't remember which,
but it looks a lot like Windows Explorer)
If you like Damn Small Linux, then a hard drive install of that is
probably a good idea. I've heard reports of it running well on a 486
with 16MB of RAM, so it should be fine on your new laptop.
