I only care for internet browsing, and support for pcmcia wireless card on my 1.2 Ghz laptop. I have exactly 51mb of disk space, 256 mb ram.

You'd probably do well with DSL: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
Or you might consider a distro that you can run from CD: http://www.knoppix.org/ http://www.ubuntu.com/

You can run UBUNTU from a CD or install it.
It's a free, reliable and up to date operating system.
You can explore it from the "LIVE CD".
It's easy to install and use. You can dual boot it with other operating systems.
Once you have it installed, you gain access to thousands of free programs created by the open source community. There is excellent support - see the WIKI starter guide, and the Linux forums.
Always back up your data before making changes to your computer.

Try Damn Small Linux...
