Linux Lightweight Distro and X Windows for Development

I want to create a lightweight Linux configuration to use. The first idea is to use it inside a virtual machine under Windows or old laptops with 1 GB of RAM. Maybe even a distributed development environment.

So, the whole idea is to use a LAMP server, a Java application server (Tomcat or Jetty) and X Windows (any window manager, from FVWM to Enlightment), Eclipse, possibly jEdit and, of course, Firefox.

Edit: I am changing this post to compile a possible list of dispatchers and window managers that can be used to configure a real lightweight development environment.

I use as a basic personal experience on this. Information about distributions can be easily found on their websites. Therefore, please focus on the personal use of these systems.
