Depending on how much RAM is installed, the ThinkPad G40 can run almost any 32-bit distro. It shipped with either 128 or 256 MB of RAM, and supports up to 1 GB.

128 MB of RAM - This is pretty low for many distros. Examples of distros that would run moderately well on it include Damn Small Linux, Tiny Core Linux, Puppy Linux, PCFluxboxOS, antiX, Vector Linux, or SliTaz.

256 MB of RAM - Distros that would perform well, in addition to the aforementioned ones, include Xubuntu, Debian (with Xfce desktop), and Lubuntu.

512 MB of RAM - Many distros should run decently on this. PCLinuxOS, openSUSE, and Fedora all have this as the recommended minimum.

1 GB of RAM - Practically all distros should run on this, including Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Linux Mint. Note that because of the relatively weak processor and poor graphics chipset, you may still be better off with a lighter distro.
