Good distro for underpowered computers?

A non-profit agency has recieved a donation of older computers. Something
along the lines of 200 MHz for the processor. I don't know all the details
of the five systems yet but they all have CD-ROM drive, a few GB hard drive
and a decent monitor. The key here is that I don't know the amount of RAM in
them yet so I am planning (hoping) for at least 128MB. They were all running
Windows 98 before being wiped clean prior to donation.

They want to set them up for basic office-worker type use. Web browsing with
JavaScript enabled (and maybe JavaVM), OpenOffice.org for general
applications, printing to a SMB network printer (I think).

They expected to have software still on them but the donor followed licensing
procedures and wiped them clean. The agency has no budget for OS and other
software so they came to me for a Linux solution! I already thought of LTSP
but they don't have or want appropriate hardware for a server box. It would
be too much of a paradigm shift (ooo, pretty buzz words) for them.

Finally to the question in the subject line: What would be a good distro or
configuration to put on these boxes. HD install of Knoppix or Mepis maybe?
KDE or GNOME is probably to heavy but the users would be more comfortable
with "windows like" look and feel. I am open to all suggestions as I have
about a week before actually doing anything with these boxes.

BTW, the agency is an employment center supported by a local church
organization. The computers would be used by clients seeking help to find
employment. Job and company research on the web, resume and letter writing
and even basic computer skill training (spreadsheets and presentation
writing) are the kind of things the seekers will do with the computers.
