That laptop is very old, so most drivers should work out of the box. However since the max RAM is 512 MB and it is a Pentium III, you'll be better off with Lubuntu, Puppy Linux or SliTaz Linux.

I bought a Thinkpad T61 for 200 dollars on eBay, everything runs fine. You may wanna get a 'new' old laptop. – jelera Nov 3 '11 at 2:12
